Vaping / Smoking

[Kassandra RPM Alaska]

A DIY Landlord sent this for me to post:

Is vaping something that is considered Non-Smoking? What damage does vaping really do? What's the best way to restrict this? Do you allow it in your unit? Thanks!

I do not allow vaping (along with any other smoking products) in my units. I’ve heard they do leave a film on walls and I don’t want to deal with a preventable mess.

I have since added more verbiage on this to include any type of smoke/fog/vape products to my leases. Not 100% sure on the effects of vaping on interior surfaces but it is likely that it leaves some residue and if it is in a multifamily it is likely that the neighbors will not like the smell. I figure that if a tenant is consuming something that is taking away the enjoyment of another tenant then it is too much.
