The three smoking positions in the onboarding
The onboarding separates smoking into three explicit options, not a binary:
- **I smoke** — active smoker. No restriction specified.
- **I don't smoke and need a smoke-free flat** — no tobacco anywhere in or around the flat, including balconies and communal areas.
- **I don't smoke but am happy with a flatmate who smokes outdoors** — the intermediate position. Indoors is smoke-free; the balcony or outside the building is acceptable.
The third position is what this page targets. It is the most common source of unresolved ambiguity: the non-smoker who would accept a flatmate who smokes, provided it stays outside. General platforms do not capture this distinction. The matching does.
