Description

Taloyhtiö voi hakea kunnalta tupakointikiellon määräämistä taloonsa. Se voi hakea tupakointikieltoa huoneistoparvekkeille ja -pihoille ja huoneistojen sisätiloihin. Viranomaiskiellon hakemisesta päätetään asunto-osakeyhtiössä yhtiökokouksen enemmistöpäätöksellä. Kieltojen hakeminen edellyttää aiotun kiellon kohdehuoneistojen haltijoiden kuulemista. Kunnan on hakemuksesta määrättävä tupakointikielto hakemuksessa tarkoitettuihin tiloihin, jos tiloista voi kulkeutua tupakansavua esim. toiselle parvekkeelle. Tupakointikieltoon kannattaa turvautua vasta siinä tapauksessa, jos tupakoinnin haittaa ei saada taloyhtiössä muuten ratkaistua.
