ACTION ALERT - PUBLIC HOUSING SMOKING BAN

(posted May 19, 2018)

Maybe you've found C.L.A.S.H. because you are a person who lives in any of the public housing complexes across the country and have received notice that you will be forced outside of your private apartment because the U.S. Dept. of Housing has dictated that smoking (cigarettes, cigars, hookahs, electronic cigarettes) will be banned inside your home effective July 31, 2018 (or sooner at the will of each local Public Housing Authority). So in your anger and frustration you have searched for help and discovered C.L.A.S.H.

Whether you are a directly affected resident or someone who simply, and rightfully, finds this intrusion into private homes by a federal agency to be one of the most egregious assaults on and threat to everyone's fundamental right to privacy to engage in a legal activity within the confines of one's own home, know that C.L.A.S.H. is fully aware of the situation and has been since C.L.A.S.H. first objected to it when HUD first proposed it at the end of 2015.

C.L.A.S.H. agrees that HUD's rule is fraught with serious constitutional questions. To quote the editorial board of the NY Observer who wrote at the time: "It may be the most far-reaching, intrusive and over-reaching executive order of the entire Obama administration."

That is why C.L.A.S.H. will be filing a lawsuit challenging this rule on or before July 31st.

C.L.A.S.H. receives no funding from any industry. It survives on the kindness of private citizens who donate their nickels and dimes. It's barely enough to cover the cost of maintaining this web site. To find out more about the details of this lawsuit and to please help us help you by contributing to the legal fund (every dollar counts!) visit our PRIVACY IN THE HOME LEGAL FUND page... and then share it far and wide.

Today it's smoking in public housing apartments. Tomorrow it's a state law in apartments in privately owned buildings and homes. The day after that it's no beer drinking (creates rowdy drunken behavior), no peanuts (the dust will attack allergic children in the next apartment) and anything else government wants to conquer next after slaying their demon du jour. This is not about smoking or whether or not you like it. This is about keeping the idea that anything traditionally legally used in the home can be banned from taking root.

Thank you!

Additional Information

This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.

Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.

Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.

Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.

Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
