Smokers living in apartments, condos and townhomes in Carlsbad will now have to think twice about lighting up inside their homes.

The beach city Tuesday (8/19/2024) became the first in San Diego County to expressly ban smoking and vaping of cannabis and nicotine products inside all local multifamily residential buildings.
