I would like to know how the decision was made to not allow smoking on the porch. As an owner for 12 years (and coming here since I was 9), I do not remember voting on this issue. I do not smoke, but my husband does like to enjoy a cigar on the porch. I understand that some of you do not want to smell the smoke, but if he can sit on the steps right outside the porch, what's the difference? Smoke is still going to rise. Unfortunately for my husband, he has to deal with the bugs or the uncomfortableness of sitting on the stairs or standing. I agree with not smoking in the unit, but not to smoke on the screened porch is taking it too far. I think this issue should be revisited or at least there should be a vote of ALL owners. Thank you for taking this into consideration for an owner's vote.

I agree with Jennifer. I am not a smoker, but my wife is. I hate smoke inside any hotel room or timeshare unit, but don't mind if my wife sits on the balcony to smoke. It usually works as a happy compromise, and she will shut the balcony door to stop it going inside.

I would also like to know who approved the smoking ban on the balconies, because I have not heard of this before, and would like to see it reversed.

There is no reason why a smoker cannot walk away from the condos to have a cigarette. Having a cigarette on the lanai is not acceptable, not any more. I have small grandchildren vacationing with me every year and we are on our lanai often.

Wasn\'t planning on smoking on your lanai Lois, so stay out of my business. By law, I have every right to smoke on the lanai and although the units are \"smoke free\" there is nothing anyone can do to stop me from smoking inside either. I will also be smoking around the pool.

I still would like to know who authorized this new rule. When I purchased my unit 12 years ago, you could smoke inside the unit. Like I said earlier, I'm fine with not smoking inside the unit, but it's ridiculous that my husband can't smoke a cigar on the patio. There needs to be a new vote by ALL the owners. I know there are many owners in my week that feel the same way. Thank you!
