The state that has repeatedly ignored the Constitution continues to show contempt for citizens’ personal liberty.<\/p>\n

San Francisco residents who live in apartment buildings with three or more units will no longer be allowed to smoke tobacco inside their homes \u2014 but they can still smoke cannabis, under a new ordinance the Board of Supervisors passed on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The board voted 10-1, with Supervisor Dean Preston dissenting. San Francisco is now the largest city in the country to ban tobacco smoking in apartment buildings.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne should not have to live in a single-family home to be able to breathe clean air,\u201d said outgoing President Norman Yee, who wrote the ordinance. \u201cThat right should exist for every single person and family, regardless of where they live or what their income is.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ordinance \u2014 which also bars e-cigarettes \u2014 is intended to protect residents from secondhand smoke. The original proposal sought to ban residents from smoking cannabis in their apartments, but supervisors voted 8-3 \u2014 with Yee, Gordon Mar and Ahsha Safa\u00ed opposed \u2014 to exclude cannabis from the ordinance.<\/p>\n

The attempt to ban indoor cannabis smoking infuriated cannabis activists who said the law would take away their only legal place to smoke. It\u2019s illegal under state law to smoke cannabis in public places.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike tobacco smokers who could still leave their apartments to step out to the curb or smoke in other permitted outdoor smoking areas, cannabis users would have no such legal alternatives,\u201d said Supervisor Rafael Mandelman, who wrote the amendment to exempt cannabis.<\/p>\n

The ordinance must pass a second vote of the board next week, but that is mostly a formality. Then, the mayor must sign it, and the new law would go into effect 30 days later.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The penalty is up to a $1000\u00a0a day<\/em> fine for violations, but the violators cannot be evicted. If it’s such a critical issue, isn’t letting these scofflaws continue to puff away (even with a fine) tantamount to allowing murder of the innocent non-smoking residents nearby?<\/p>\n

All of this is, of course, in the name of “safety”. Meanwhile their governor enacts some of the most restrictive COVID guidelines and then immediately violates them himself. Which shouldn’t surprise. He learned a lot from his aunt (by marriage) Nancy Pelosi, who also likes to call for strict limits to your liberty and then immediately doesn’t follow the same edicts.<\/p>\n

Thanks to KoB for sending this one in.<\/p>\n
