An option I had forgotten about may be a solution is build an extension to max height right up to the fend and have sealed windows nearest to next door and windows that open on the other side.

Thanks

That seems very extreme for a bit of cigarette smoke!

Though it is a step down from the earlier suggestion of buying a detached house with 16 acres of free space on each side, to avoid a bit of ciggy smoke and, presumably, the smell of garlic bread, or something. (Just avoid rural detached, if smells are offensive; definitely avoid anywhere near a pig farm.)

LOL right!!  This just all seems so unbelievable, that someone would get this upset about a bit of smoke and food smells, I mean really?  Talk about real world problems

Well I guess we are all different, thank god. This might not bother you or I, but clearly bothers OP plus a number of other posters on this thread. Maybe you'd be annoyed by dogs off leads, or kids on aeroplanes, and someone else on here wouldn't be. So what?

Your post adds nothing to the discussion.

I had not imagined to be inhaling passive smoke through out the day.
Being in the garden, drying my clothes outside (where the clothes will absorb the stench) and coming through the windows / back door.  

No offense - I like to look after my health!

From the NHS Website: Passive smoking – it isn't just unpleasant for them, it can damage their health too.

You may not have read the whole thread, but lots of people have posted their opinions without any suggestions.  If you check, I think you will find that is what forums are for!

I may be miffed by the things you have mentioned yes, but people live in very close proximity these days so you have to be more tollerant of other people around you.  Or live in the middle of nowhere.

Some people have suggested selling up and even building huge extensions - how does that help anyone?  It's just a ridiculous suggestion whether smoke bothers you or not. 

Also, I would like to ask - what does your post add to the discussion that makes it any more valid than mine?

OK and what about when people have a barbeque?  A log burner?  Even burning bits of rubbish in the garden. 

What if *heaven forbid* someone decides to cook a curry next door......then what??

Will you be having a word with all of them too?

At the end of the day it's a few wafts of smoke outside, in the open air.  Like I said, first world problems

Oh the irony. Have you any idea what tobacco companies do to people in the third world? How they exploit people there, both in tobacco production, and in the marketing of their deadly products? Plus the legacy of tobacco-related slavery. How many people on the streets in London protesting to remove statues or for "reparations" for slavery centuries ago have a cigarette in their hand? A product absolutely no-one needs to use, neither in the past nor now. Hypocrites! Anyone who smokes and supports the tobacco companies is responsible for the way people in developing countries are impacted by smoking, before you even consider the problems it causes in the first world.

Hi

Not sure what you find funny "about a bit of smoke."?

You make think it is a joke but people post here to seek help/advice/opinions that
will help them and not be mocked.

One of our children has severe asthma and the more they steer clear of smoke/etc the worse it gets next time.
Sat on a train, if a smoker comes and sits near them they have to move and this is not because of the stink
but because asthma attacks have been triggered in the past. Our kid has an allergy to cigarette smoke, smoke, pets and all nuts.

It is not a "LOL" matter but something that is serious and in this instance the OP that posted it.

Times have changed, and people's knowledge about secondary smoke most of us were and still are exposed to is no "LOL" matter.

TBH, I'm not sure how you find your post helpful. Please never forget passive smoking damages other people's health and certain things affect certain people in a way that it makes their lives miserable and can make them ill.

About "food smells," you find that funny as well and TBH, when I was younger and naive I used to joke about that in my early teen years. Even some food smells can trigger allergic reactions but on the whole, people just don't like the smell or it makes them want to leave the house/area etc. I've found and posted about this before on this thread that when I am eating certain foods, smells fine but if others are cooking it, the smells put me off

We are all different and just because you may disagree with an OP/poster, by all means, do but please do not mock them as this makes any argument you make pretty irrelevant.

I've read quite a few of your posts and often agree with what you say but I am sorry as this post of yours did wind me up a little as you are better than that.

Take care.

Hello again

The highlighted bit. I said that. How does it not help people like the OP? OP posted as per OP and I responded the only real feasible options as detailed in my posts. Most on this thread agreed it was pointless speaking to next door as they/me felt it would wind them up, So how does my suggestion and its only a suggestion to move to an old style large det house that have very large gardens, how would that not help OP?

Thanks again

That's a whole other subject though, how many other industries that people use every day exploit people in the third world......cheap electronics, cheap clothing, cheap everything. 

You also seem to presume that I'm a smoker, just to clarify I am not.

Take care.

Your opinion is no more correct than mine though is it?  That's what I am trying to say.  There is no right or wrong answer because things like this are subjective - some people can live with it and some can't.

Some people agree with the OP and that's fine, I don't agree and guess what.....that's fine too because it's my opinion and it is a public forum. 

I've read your posts too and I'm not sure why you think that your "advice" is more valid than anyone else here?  On occasion your advice has been blatantly incorrect.  In fact your post history makes you appear like a bit of a story teller to be honest.....you're a sucessful BTL landlord apparently, but asked for advice about being a landlord.....which seems rather odd.

Don't patronise me with things like "you are better than that" - do you know me at all?

Oh and before I pop you on the ignore list, I wasn't laughing at the OP - my reply was to another poster who basically said how much of an over-reaction some of the suggestions were in quite a tongue in cheek way - and I agree with them and found it funny, so the reply was to them.
