Takoma Village has always allowed smoking in areas open to the sky and away 
from non-smokers. But we have also had no regular smokers for years. Guests 
smoke sometimes.

Our proposed revisions may add the possibility of designating an area for 
smoking when we have construction workers on site who like to sit and smoke 
during lunch breaks. The best place to do this is near a play area so they 
would not normally be allowed to smoke there.

We also state that the smoke or other fumes should not waft into units, for 
example, from balconies.
