Neighbours smoking

[Vagabond]

Personally I hate smoking, I hate the smell and the way smokers think it's okay to discard of their cigarrettes out of car window, pavements, or bushes, if anyone else just threw rubbish out like that it'd be seen as disgusting, but somehow smokers dont have a conscience that works.

Anyway, our neighbour smokes constantly, and as our gardens are ajoined the smoke inevitably drifts over the fence and leaves us in a cloud of secondary smoke. If we leave our windows and doors open our lounge and bedrooms smell of cigarette smoke, and the fact he smokes pretty much all the time means there is no respite.

Yes, he has a right to smoke in his own garden, but as it affects us it's hardly a habbit that only affects him, therefore it seems pretty selfish for us to suffer for his disgusting habbit.

If only smoking killed people more quickly, like you die in a year or something, I can see this guy smoking himself into a grave but it'll take another 10 or 20 years at least no doubt!!

Anyone found a solution to this sort of thing?

[HRG.]

Yup, you really need to get a life...

Yep - stop breathing in.

[Muntu]

Start smoking yourself, then you won't notice the smell of his.

[Doobs]

We saved up and bought a breeze, now our smoke dissipates nicely and are neighbours think we are great.

I recon you did the right thing, Ive had an idiot behave less than sensibly with me before, waiting at traffic lights I waved him and his mate to walk across if they liked, and they decide to take the piss and stroll slowly along while giving me the hard stare, then one flicked his cigarette onto my windscreen!!

I was already in 1st gear so floored it and hit him , he went over the front of the bonnet and came off the side and lay there in a much less cocky state then 30 seconds before. I got out as I was so angry I was ready to smash his face in, but his mate was kneeling next to him and was very appologetic so I left it at that.

I dont get all this sympathy for idiots that act this way, I recon the OP handled it a little too nicely if anything.

Just somewhat slightly different than someone jumping into your path whilst moving

Whilst I don't have much sympathy for the bloke you hit, I'd have even less for you if you got nicked for it, or his mate battered you.

Why's that then? You think he didnt desrve it?

I say break into his home and beat the living crap out of the neighbour for being so selfish and ruining your perfect life... are you him out of fallen down?

Move?

You're a funny guy. I wouldnt mind using violence but im trying to be a nicer, more approachable person.

I tried not breathing for 30 mins, but he smoked for 45, so it didnt help.

Build a windmill, or run a row of fans down the side of your garden and blow the smoke back the other way!

To antarctica, so you don't have to deal with other people.
FFS how small is your garden? Sit at the other side or something.

[Dupont666]

Well what do you want to do?

put some fans facing the windows so it doesnt blow in your property??

I dont have a terrace or a garden, so cant have BBQs, hate that fact and the fact im reminded of it so much this time of year due to the smells wafting into my flat when I have the windows open.

What should I do to stop it?

Tell the whole street to stop because they are being selfish and filling my flat with smoke and nice cooking smells?

I can imagine how frustrating it must be to live next to a selfish ahole.

If I was your neighbour I'd move

The fans is a good idea, ill try that, it's mainly the smoke in the house that's bothering me (furniture and carpet stinks of smoke now).

A bbq on a sunday afternoon is far less imposing than literally constant smoke, morning and night, I could live with it if it was occassional.

You missed off the 'in your opinion' bit. Most people are far more tolerant than you, I suggest you look for the problem a little closer to home.
