A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says subsidized housing should be made smoke-free.
The report from the CDC says making subsidized housing smoke-free could save New York $125 million a year in health care and housing costs. Other cities in the country have already implemented the smoke-free rule with public housing.
The New York City Health Department says a 2012 poll of voters showed that nearly 60 percent wanted to live in a smoke-free home.
