The Everett Housing Authority is implementing a smoking ban in all of its units beginning this Friday.
On the authority’s website, officials list the reasons for the ban as a concern for tenants’ health, the increased risk of fires and the expenditure of public money to prepare units for re-rent that have previously been occupied by smokers.
I plan a more complete story later this week. I’m looking for people who live in Everett Housing Authority units who would be willing to speak to me about the new policy. Just email me at dsmith@heraldnet.com.
