Even though there is no law to prevent smoking in a private home, one can still find ways to protect oneself from unwanted secondhand smoke, especially if one is a renter.   Tenants and landlords need to know the facts about secondhand smoke and work on finding compromises that protect and enhance the renter and the property itself.  It should be noted that landlords can put no smoking clauses into rental agreements, which can be enforced.   Please click on this link: www.smokefreehousingny.org  to get specifics about Tenant issues, Landlord & Property Manager issues and information for Realtors.  Or call 315.252.0097 and ask to speak to Anne McCarthy, program coordinator for the Cayuga County Tobacco Free Partnership.
