Although TV probably has the authority to ban smoking on the entire entertainment square block, forcing people to smoke across the street. I'm sure the folks on oxygen would appreciate it.

Some condominiums and apartments banned smoking entirely in the building including your unit.

In 2020 the CDC estimated 12.5% smokes cigarettes in America. That statistic is probably 10% today.

I smoked for many years and know how hard it is to stop so I'm not self righteous and totally understand but the folks enjoying the music and dancing shouldn't have to be subjected to breathing that poison.
