WeHo Bans E-Cigarette Use in Apartment Residences
West Hollywood tenants banned from using e-cigarettes in apartments, courtyards and balconies effective from Jan. 1, 2023.

Tenants in the city of West Hollywood, California will be prohibited from using electronic cigarettes in their apartments, as well as in the courtyard and balcony areas.


A new prohibition in West Hollywood will come into effect on January 1, 2023, which will ban smoking in apartment complexes, essentially encompassing the majority of apartments and rental duplexes.


According to media reports, the city has defined "smoking" to include the consumption of cigarettes, marijuana, and electronic cigarette products, as well as other products made from tobacco and nicotine, such as heated but non-burning products and hookah.


Individuals discovered to be in violation of the new ban will face fines ranging from $100 to $500 (approximately 696 to 3480 yuan). However, the violation cannot be used as a reason for deportation or imprisonment.


According to the West Hollywood City Council, it is still legal to use marijuana e-cigarettes for medical purposes. The Council further stated: "The Council further finds that it is unreasonable to prohibit smoking or consumption of marijuana within a dwelling unit by a tenant for medical, therapeutic or recreational purposes for the public health and welfare. While state law prohibits smoking in public places and consuming marijuana in private places, there are currently no safe alternative products available.
