First Toronto Smoke-Less Condo

Options for Homes, a not-for-profit developer, will be building The Humber, a condominium in Toronto, where smoking of tobacco and cannabis will not be allowed anywhere on the property, including the units. This is the first condominium in Toronto where a prohibition on smoking is contained in the condominium documents from the outset of the creation of the condominium. The Humber is marketed as a family-friendly condominium with a focus on two and three-bedroom units. The prohibition is consistent with the family-friendly focus and will help eliminate cigarette butts being tossed over balconies and balcony fires resulting from improper disposal of lit cigarette butts. The decision was made after conducting a survey which indicated that 75% of the survey participants would be more likely to purchase a unit in a smoke-free condominium.
