Surveys
conducted by the Public Health
Advocacy Institute (PHAI) at the Northeastern University School of Law
show a high demand for smoke-free policies among residents. PHAI is
working with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to encourage
the voluntary implementation of building-wide smoke free rules in
multiunit dwellings.
Jack Shipley of the
SouthCoast Healthy Housing and Workplace Initiative (SCHHWI)
invited Attorney Christopher Banthin to speak to local landlords and
property managers at a forum held on March 26, 2017 in the Fall River
Government Center Hearing Room. The presentation was part of a two-year
SCHHW initiative of Voices for a
Healthy SouthCoast that was announced in September, 2012, following the receipt of a$1 million grant from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop smoke-free housing and worksites in Fall River, New Bedford and Wareham.
