CITY HALL -- You no longer have to leave the safety of your own home to violate a Santa Monica anti-smoking law. As of today, it's illegal to smoke outdoors within 25-feet of any apartment building door, window or vent -- a rule aimed at preventing smokers from lighting up on patios and balconies of multi-unit residential properties. The new law was uncontroversial when it came before the City Council recently. Mayor Bobby Shriver, who said he supported the concept of the balcony and patio ban but felt the ordinance should have gone further by requiring landlords to designate certain units as non-smoking, cast the only dissenting vote.
Vocab: patios = emper terbuka; ordinance = peraturan; designate = menandai; dissenting = menolak/tidak setuju.
I think give such rule for smoker is a good action because sometimes they are careless by disposing the ash or the cigarette butt randomly. As the result they just suffer not only themself but also the other. I hope our country, Indonesia also can adapt Santa Monica's goverment policy.
Prevention always better than cure.

I agree with that rule. Smoking will not good. It just poisons the air, makes your teeth yellow, your lips black and contribute to give the smoker lung cancer and the other diseases. I hope Indonesia will protect passive smoker like me.
