Smoking at Imperial
Imperial is non-smoking in all common and limited common areas
Smoking is a touchy subject when it comes to neighbourhood living. The smell of cigarette smoke can be carried by the wind a pretty far distance, and many people are highly sensitive to it.
If you are a smoker, we mainly ask that you please be considerate of your neighbours.
- Take your cigarette butts with you; discarding butts on the street/sidewalk/grass is unsightly and potentially hazardous.
- Consider going for a short walk when having a cigarette to allow the smoke to dissipate over a greater area.
- Check in with your neighbours to make sure their peace of life is not being disrupted by the cigarette smell. If it is, please take greater measures to make things more comfortable.
A portable ashtray can easily be kept by your door so you can easily and safely dispose of your cigarette butts. Here are two affordable options from Amazon:
