Neighbours Smoke

System

Unfortunately not. The 'No smoking' zealots believe that ANY, including criminal, action is allowed in their continuing vendetta against people carrying out a lawful pastime on their own property.

If this occurred then I would advise the OPs neighbour to raise a claim in the small claim court for damage to clothing etc. and even possibly an assault charge

There's nothing you can do. It's their property, so they can smoke on it. And the best way to eliminate smoke odour is with fresh air....so there's nothing more you can do there either.

The only option open to you is to ask them politely to smoke further away from your patio. But, from their point of view, why should they? It's their own private property and if they can't relax and smoke where they wish within that property, where can they?

I'm a smoker, and I find it extremely frustrating when I hear stories like this.

I enjoy what I do, but I know other people don't. I make sure whenever I am lighting up (whether i'm out in public, or in my own garden) that no one is near, and i'm as far away from any windows as possible. Mostly I smoke in the shed!

I wish other people would be as considerate, so not all smokers get tarred with the same brush.

No-one would worry about the neighbours smoking if the smoke stayed on their own property.

If your neighbours ate takeaways in their garden and then threw the containers into your garden, I doubt you would be happy. Making your neighbours share your smoke is the same thing.

Unfortunately the wind can not be controlled. What should they do? Only smoke when the wind is blowing away from the OP?

There's nothing you can do ~ they're on/in their own property.

So now you're accepting that your smoke does go onto their property?

How about smoking down the far end of the garden so that it doesn't affect your neighbours' house?

Please bear this in mind when your driving past me, having a BBQ, farting, placing your bins at the end of the drive the night before or just generally posting !!!!!!!! in a forum. So smoking is the same as littering and vandalism. Smoke doesnt attract rats/pests (unless including yourself)

What if the neighbour wanted to be at the far end of the garden?!


New stance.... Seeing as im not aloud to smoke in my garden, i beilieve you should not be allowed to open your windows or go out in your garden, this would solve the problem!
