Neighbours smoking

I think smokers sometimes fail to realise it's more than just a smell - it really is all pervading and makes everything stink. At this time of year when people have their windows open it can be really nasty - and if you're like me then it makes bad hayfever worse.

I used to live in a flat above smokers - in the summer the smoke drifted up and into our windows and made the place smell for quite a while afterwards. In the winter it used to come up through the floorboards!

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it.

One of my pet hates is sitting in traffic jams and smelling the cig smoke from a car 4 or 5 in front. Sounds ridiculous but it is that strong a smell, and it's enough to get my hayfever going and give me a headache.

OP you have my sympathies.

Toughen up princess.

It's only poor people who are affected... If you can afford a decent house with a fair size garden then the smoke has dissipated by the time it reaches the neighbours.

Jolly good point.

Get on the Council's exchange list

Brilliant.

If ever one needed an example of the me me me selfishness that this country has descended into then this is surely it.

Post imitates life.

Flabberghasting.

Its a free country and its his garden. FFS

Dissipating AND flabberghasting on one page.

I bet you both smoke pipes.

[HRG.]

Smoke? How brash, I pay a man to do it for me these days...

The OPer thinks he has it bad? Whenever I open my windows (in my ninja cave hideout), because the neighbours are big gardening enthusiasts, my... er... ninja cave hideout has the distinctive scent of summer flowers. It's going to ruin business. I will have to spray some Carbon Cold Steel And Gunpowder Deodorising Room Spray.

Surely a true ninja would just take the neighbour out?

I can't see or hear any neighbours - the house and garden is simply too big.

Apart from occasionally being aware of the French pest who chopped the woods down fiddling with (children probably) things in his shed.

What, dinner and a movie, and then ask them nicely not to smoke?

Not a bad plan.

Not sure I could top their flowers. They seem to know a thing or two about flowers. By "top", I don't mean remove the heads of the flowers. But there's an idea. Would it appear a tad psychopathic if one day they woke up to find all the flower heads removed?

Has shooting the chimney in the face been suggested?

I take it that you find referring to a smoker as a 'chimney' hilarious?
Well well done you. Have a smiley face biscuit.
