How to Deal with Smoking Neighbors?

• Try to reason out with the neighbor in case he is indulging in excessive smoking. Try to explain to him or her the inconvenience caused to you
• Make a request to reduce his or her smoking
• Ask them to smoke near a window so that the smoke does not remain inside the building
• If they are smoking pot you can lodge a complaint with the local authorities
• If it is an apartment complex, you can complain to the manager of the complex. In subsidized apartments you may face this problem
• One can approach the landlord concerned in case the neighbor lives in a rented building
• Keep your apartment well ventilated, so that in case the smoke enters, it can go out
• One can have the gap under the door fixed in order to prevent the smoke
• You can explain you allergies to them
• Keep a towel under the door
• Make a request whether they can smoke in the porch rather than in the rooms
• Get an electronic air purifier installed, which can remove the bad foul smoke of the cigarette
• Purchase your own independent home, rather than live in an apartment complex with difficult neighbors
