Disgusting cigarette smell from ur neighbour

[villageidiotY2K]

Hi folks, I’ve moved to this condo in and I’m a non smoker.

I’ve chosen this property due to the view of the beach and sea breeze.

I have this neighbour below me that frequently  smokes and i can’t keep my windows open . The smell of the cigarette is just too disgusting for me

 

There’s no regulation in this condo about being  smoke free but wouldn’t one be more considerate of their neighbors if they are living in a condo instead of a stand alone house?

Anyone experiencing this ?

If no rules or  management to handle such issues, your best option is to move. 

 

Simple as that. If there where rules, you could try to talk to your neighbor, but then, well, it comes down to pure human factors and your neighbour think it is vice to quit smoking at his balcony or not.

Do a #2 on a plate, place next to balcony edge... place fan to blow over the plate and downwards.

What is wrong with tobacco smell? I gave up smoking 10 years ago and I don't mind the smell at all.

For a non smoker, this should be the first question asked before renting.

Buy a fan(s) and sit them at your open door.

I thought condo's were classed as smoke free buildings these days,

Maybe you should work on your sensitivity to cigarette smoke.

If the smoke from one cigarette a floor below you on a balcony is enough to make you comfortable, then you are super sensitive - maybe mostly in your brain.

Try to accept it as part of life, like not so good air when you are near a street with vehicles.

You won't be able to change the world how it is. Get used to it.

Or a non-smoker just gets used to real life.

I never smoked in my life. A little smoke does not bother me.

Be thankful the neighbour doesn't smoke cigars.

As a smoker, I understand your position.

 

When I came to Thailand almost 15 years ago to assess retirement options - live which city/town, which part thereof, and rent or buy house/apartment/condo, etc. - the majority of expats I spoke with advised renting, and provided reasons why; with problematic neighbours being the main "issue".

 

In a country where laws, regulations and rules are all too often not enforced or enforceable, even in "gated communities", renting is an advisable option.  Thus, if you are subjected to very annoying neighbours, who are not going to change their behaviour, and do not care about others, you are free to seek alternative accommodation.

 

Good luck.

I feel your pain. Most smokers are rude and think the world is their ashtray. You are lucky he does not toss the butts onto your balcony.

That is you, which is not the case for most non smokers.

You’re kidding right? Why do you think hotels have non smoking rooms? And why many apartments and condos don’t allow smoking? Because most people don’t like other people imposing their filthy smelly stinky habits on them is why. Though those who don’t have basic self awareness, respect and common decency for others wouldn’t know this now would they?

You are lucky!

I gave up around 16 years ago, but hate the smell of tobacco smoke now.

Two options: Fight reality and lose.

Or accept reality and get on with life.

 

It does not make sense to worry about thing which we can't change. Isn't that obvious?
