Having looked the OP’s posts here and in the other thread I can’t help but wonder if anyone else would be able to detect this smoke.

Ugh, How rude are you?

You know I'm active in this thread yet you are calling me a liar indirectly.

I don't want to see or hear from you in this thread again.

The onus is on you to find a coping mechanism/solution, not them, as they are doing nothing illegal by smoking in their own place.
If your window is small and you're sweltering then get a fan that cools the air and keep your window closed.
If you are doing a lot of shouting in your flat then they can complain about you too.

Since when was smoking copious amounts of weed legal?

It's not the legality anyway, I don't care about that, its the constant fumes causing me much worsened health issues.

With all due respect, you don't have any right to tell people that they can or can't come into a thread. Much like you have no right to tell a homeowner what they can or con't do in their own home.

Ultimately, it sounds like you just have an issue with smoke in general, which may or may not stem from your mental health issues. As an example, from your previous thread: I have an allergy and the slightest bit of secondhand smoke makes me feel awful;dissociated out of my mind and physically terrible..

You really need to either have a polite word with your neighbour downstairs, or ultimately move. There's no point coming on to MSE when they are literally the only two viable options that you have.

The post from January was about another smoker, which came inside though the venting. This is not from inside, that person causing that was on my floor and has kindly decided to go outside to smoke, of which I have massive respect for.

What prompted the change? Was it in response to you explaining the problem to them and asking them to change their behaviour?

Could you speak to the new offending neighbour about the smoke pouring into your flat and ask them to smoke out the door? They could be smoking inside in an attempt to be considerate, after all, if they smoke out the door on a block of flats could the smoke then come in through open windows (this is what I thought was the problem form you initially)?

I find it strange that smoke is pouring into your flat, essentially through the floor. Do you know how it's getting into your flat? Seems to me that offending smoke aside, there's a maintenance issue that could potentially be addressed as well

Imagine if there was a new born in my flat and it was a mother with here child, would people here be saying the same thing? No, it would be wrong. So why it is any different for people with mental illness.

It would be excatly the same for them.
You've been told what your choices are, move, contact the landlord to see if the floors are making the problem worse, get smoke filtering cooling fan type thing.
You could also phone the police and cmplain about your neighbour but again, they don't really care unless the person is dealing.
I'm not sure what you want from this thread because no one is going to magic up any other options.
I suppose you could try the council EH department...

No, I absolutely can tell people what they should be doing if they are causing harm to other people or being rude in a thread I created. Good people need to stick up for the good or the bad run amok, just like this rude individual downstairs who knows I'm being hurt because of a their disregard for others clean air.

I was looking for other people's experienced, which I didn't get. Rather I received a very helpful PM from someone not on this forum regarding a DIY filter for a Window.

@Rusty.

There were people on my floor that smoked, I left notes also had episodes where I was so out of my mind that I was shouting in the hall about the issues, which obviously not the best thing to do resolved the issue.

This is from a different person below my flat, this comes in the Window next to my bed.

This person most certainly knows that it's causing me harm because I've told them out the Windows that I can't get air in my flat and its making me miserable in the mornings. Everyone had a right to clean air, EVERYONE.

They are still doing it regardless, when they know it causes harm, so they aren't decent people.

I am going to fit a carbon filter to my window, as suggested in another thread on reddit.

Thanks for your help, I feel like the others in this thread don't quite grasp how !!!! having constant smoke in your flat can be. Air is basic human right and no one should have to deal with someone else's self destructive behaviour.

I have up smoking to better myself years ago and this is holding me back.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Without any input you say I should move, when it takes a person two seconds to go out the side door and cause far less harm to another human being at basically no expense.

I don't want to hear or see you in this thread again

Well, here I am again, and I still say it's YOU with the problem, so move.

This isn't going to end well for you. Speak to your support work or the crisis team about it.

You'd better go see a solicitor and have them issue an injunction against your neighbour to enforce your right to clean air.


Can you tell me which legislation grants that right?
