Robin, Chicago's 2005 city ordinance bans smoking in public places, which
includes our common areas. Fire ordinances also restrict it. The Board
is currently working on a rules revision that we'll submit to residents
for comments within the next few months. The Board is proposing that
smoking in unauthorized spaces carry stiff fines.
