I agree!

I was going to make the same suggestion but thought it was too obvious to the OP, but you are correct.

I also wonder just what type of "cigarette" smoke is being discussed!

Even an old fashioned unfiltered woodbine could cause that much so called distress one floor above!

 

It does.

A fan does NOT work.

The drafts from floors below will easily get drawn into upper floors.

There IS NO FIX using just a fan, or 10 fans, or even 10,000 fans.

 

Anyone who had sat in a few science class would definitely know this.

 

 

None of the above solutions work, except for completely SEALING all cracks around windows.

Talking to neighbors is USELESS, of course, especially if your neighbors look like these two bums.

 

 

Anytime you have lower pressure in your unit, lower than the pressure outside your unit, smoke will be drawn in, inevitably.

Fans will just move the smoke around, but will NOT keep the smoke out.

 

Here is a video which supports this obvious reality, based on Physics.....

 

Unfortunately, I have not yet found a decent animation showing air flow, higher-lower pressure, etc.

But, I will find one and add it later.

 

There is NO Way that a Fan will reduce the amount of smoke that enters your condo.

Of course, this is OBVIOUS.

Here is a diagram of STACK EFFECT which causes pressure differential based on temperature.

There is NO WAY one can overcome this using just fans....or almost any other means:

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

Or just shiit in a sock and lower it down to his balcony on a rope.

I too had a teen move into the ajoining duplex. I station a huge fan and pointed it towards the young lady. Obviouse she stopped as the fan was so annoying

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

 

I gave up a +40/day habit over twenty years ago and I cannot stand the smell of second-hand cigarette smoke.

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

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

That's good that you've never smoked in your life, I'm the same, it's just as well that I hardly ever eat in a restaurant as I would immediately demand anyone who lit up while I was eating put it out.

Would you tolerate anyone smoking near you if you were eating in a restaurant?

i heard this from a smoker:  "I am not smoking in my room.  I am smoking in the balcony" Smokers logic? I could not argue with him.

Lucky me. I have to put up with the occasional smell of cigarette smoke & weed from balconies. Plus the sounds of coughing.

If you smoke then it will not be a bother.  But for those who do not smoke, suffer from COPD, other ailments or just the smell disgusts then it is a problem.  I just got off the elevator in my buidling and this guy who just moved in wreaked of cigarette smoke because he was at the designated smoking area fo the building.  I have had allergies for most of my life and the two things that bother me the most are cigarette smoke and cannabis smoke.

Agreed. I'm a non smoker & they bother me too. I hate the smell & have to close the windows at times. Talking to the apartment office was pointless.

Thanks for your exception that confirms the rule.

Tobacco smoke stinks badly......

Talk to him about the benefits of smokeless tobacco. If no joy, then praise pipes and cigars.
