[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 550354, member: 1233"] i am not asking them to not smoke in their own apartments. We are not getting smoke from the other apartments. The problem is smoking in the common hallways, which we were told by the owner was not allowed (but that is not enforced at this time). Heck, if they would just pick one vestibule/stairway to smoke in, we would seal the door and only use the other one except in severe emergencies. I would NEVER ask them to not smoke in their own apartments. I honestly think that outlawing smoking in restaurants that do not cater to kids is wrong. They should either provide good ventilation to the outside from the smoking area or they should put sign up that says that the place is 100% smoking. Adults should be able to make that choice. kids? Another story and if you cater to kids/families, then I am all for no smoking. From what I have read and been told by the cops, the state smoking laws CAN apply to this situation and make it illegal to smoke in teh common indoor areas. I am not 100% sure that this is correct, and I would vastly prefer to NOT be on those terms with the neighbors, Know what I mean?? I am hoping the weatherstripping will be a big help, as will sealing under the door with a draft stop thingy. Moving owuld be nice but is almost impossible. Not enough $$ and not enough places to rent in a college town right after school has started. Thank you for your insight. It IS appreciated and I will think about it before we make any complaints to the landlord or the police. [/QUOTE]
