Be thankful the neighbour doesn't smoke cigars. 

Yeah, or ganga where it lingers for a long time

This issue comes up in my building every December when it's cool and people like to open their windows. There is not much you can do about neighbors acting within the law and rules of the condo. By mid-January everyone will have their windows and doors closed and the AC on. Problem solved 🙄

You are lucky!

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

As an ex-smoker I'm not bothered by cigarette, cigar or pipe smoke. In your case, given your sensitivity, you should surely have checked the regulations before moving in to the condo. Now you either have to put up with the smell, or move

Yep,  I think this is the correct answer.

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 ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ask him politely to smoke a brand you like to smell or to reduce smoking on defined hours.

Or move out

Move out, or do you think, the smoker have to go? First serve, first get! I say as a non-smoker

Yes. First it was a chain smoking Iranian 3 floors down. It came up through the ventilation system. Then an Arab rented the unit next door. He was a heavy  water pipe and Marlboro smoker. Smoke came in through the dividing wall. Due to noise and heat I had to keep my windows mostly closed. I invested in  air filter machines. Little help.

Complained to building manager. Sorry, cannot help. European unit owners not interested in issue of their tenants. Eventually, Iranian left. He was a nasty who denied smoking. The Arab neighbour  left in August. I expect it must have been rushed due to a personal misfortune as his mother was the one overseeing the  move, He left a mess too. He wasn't a bad guy, but he liked to party and would have his arab pals over and they would all smoke. Had a pretty girlfriend with a fiery temper.

The  incredible aspect is that no cannabis smoking is allowed in the building and  it is enforced.

 

The smoke made me ill and it was unbearable. Due to  work and  other issues, I could not move. I despise smokers now with a real passion.

Smoke going through the walls and ventilation system.

 

 Curious how the smoke goes through the separate ventilation system of another separate system 3 floors away.

 

Are the walls paper thin?

 

Iranian and Arab neighbors.

 

Have you considered an upgraded condo/apartment?  Better neighborhood?
