Smoking
So the tenant downstairs is smoking. The smoke wafts up a ventilation duct from his bathroom and into mine. Making my room smoking. Now, I love a good smoke like the next man, but when smoke comes uninvited, I get annoyed. So I went down to ask him to stop, knocked on the door, heard the tv and him get up, come to the door, and then … nothing. I kept knocking for a while, but you can’t fight passive aggressive, so I left. My game plan is to:
- Come back randomly until I get ahold of them
- Rat them out to the landlady
- Get an anti smoking injunction
Fortunately, the “no smoking” thing is in my lease, so if they don’t stop / aren’t force to stop, I can just recover my deposit and leave, since my lease has been breached.

Elliot, I’m a smoker myself. However I can’t stand smoke indoors. It lingers, gets stale, smells for days, etc. I ALWAYS try to go outside out of the respect for others… But I guess someone’s got to be ignorant, right? Good luck, and hope that no flames break out from that smoke!

Why not fix the ventilation duct so it doesn;t convey smoke? You’d solve the problem of cooking odors as well.Or don’t you care about cooking smells?
I wonder where all these hypersensitive squawkers come from. Back in smoking days–a mere twenty years ago– you never heard a word, I suspect you’re a recreational troublemaker as well as a smoker. How do you feel about quitting yourself?

I like smoke, just on my own terms. I bet I can think of some gases, like SF6, that you wouldn’t want floating around, but could find a use for from time to time.

Not liking smoke at all times is a matter of preference, not biology.
