Concord’s attached-housing smoking ban takes full effect starting Jan. 1

Nearly a year after the Concord City Council approved a ban on smoking and vaping in and around apartments, condos and other attached-housing units, the ban is set to go into effect for all such housing units on New Year’s Day.

Mobile home and RV parks, as well as dwelling areas in residential facilities such as group homes, residential care facilities, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, assisted living facilities and emergency and homeless shelters, also come under the ordinance.
