That is not going to help anyone's lungs.twopenny said:What about burning a Citronella candle?You can get ones that go on for hours for garden use. Smell of lemons and dream you are in Italy.
OP, try to appeal to your neighbours' better nature on medical grounds. Even the most selfish bar stewards should have some sympathy.No man is worth crawling on this earth.

Oh come on, let's not mess about! Get something like this:wire it up to movement detector in the appropriate spot and also wire in a CD player with a copy of Wagner's Ring Cycle ready to play.One or the other should solve the problem, but going nuclear with both guarantees success.

Citronella is an oil from a plant. Granted the stuff you buy in Poundland and such may have other stuff, probably why they don't work, but the genuine article should just be wax and oil.Eucalyptus, lavender all natural will work also. Keeps away flys and bugs as well as disguising the smell of smoke.
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on
The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well
