We are a group of secondhand smoke victims who created this website to unite all the victims together for a change. Fight for smokefree air and protect your health & home.
We have experienced secondhand smoke drift from inconsiderate smoking neighbours for over two decades. Over the years, we had contacted many government agencies for help but to no avail. We were forced to go to CDRT as a last resort but there was no proper guidance given to secondhand smoke victims which caused us to go through unnecessary trials, expenses, and times. The court wanted us to collect the evidence ourselves which was another time-consuming process. In addition, the goal of CDRT is to resolve neighbour disputes amicably so the secondhand smoke victims might feel that justice was not served adequately as some might have suffered a personal injury, emotional distress, and financial loss during the process. The CDRT system may not be a perfect way to deal with secondhand smoke issues but it still can offer some remedies to constrain smokers from excessive smoking.
We have documented some of our experiences and the legal proceeding with the smoker on this website. Hopefully, it offers some guidance to those secondhand smoke victims who wish to seek legal help for their problems and avoid some of the pitfalls that we had experienced.
Why this Website?
This website is specially dedicated to secondhand smoke victims who need peer support & network that is not found anywhere. It’s probably one of the first websites specially made for secondhand smoke victims as it is difficult to seek any help or support from any government agencies or organizations in Singapore as they have no solution to this longstanding problem. There is also no law to protect secondhand smoke victims at home from tobacco exposure & harassment from either the smoking family members or smoking neighbours. We are unfortunately left to fend for ourselves alone with no guidance, resource, and support. Many of the secondhand smoke victims are feeling lost, frustrated, and helpless.
Hence, the main purpose of the website is to:
Support & Help
Seek help from fellow secondhand smoke sufferers so you will not be feeling lonely when fighting for smoke-free home. Submit your affected residence here to call for help.
Network
Create a network for secondhand smoke victims so that we can look out for each other and catch the offenders together.
Volunteers & Partners
We are looking for volunteers and partners who can provide legal or technical assistance to solve the issue of residential secondhand smoke. If you can contribute, contact us today.
