[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 550358"] I definitely would not get the police involved. Even as a last resort. Living with secondhand smoke is a lot more preferable than living with neighbors who hate you. I think I would bake a batch of cookies, put it in a nice container with a "hi, I am your new neighbor" note with your name and phone number. And then i would knock on the doors of the people who smoke. And I would give them the goodies, chit chat for a bit - ask them about themselves, ask for local recommendation for a dry cleaner or bakery, whatever and do the whole "looking forward to getting to know you shtick..." and then, right before you say goodbye, I would "oh by the way, would you mind not smoking in the hallway? LL assured me there was no smoking in public spaces which is important to me because my kids have asthma and smoke really aggravates it. I hate to even ask you and I hope you won't take it the wrong way...I have nothing against smoking and it's just the hallway and only because my kids have asthma" with a mega watt smile.... oh - and I would buy a fan and aim it at your door - so when you open it - it is blowing the air away from the door.
