[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 550578, member: 1550"] Susie, are you sure there is NO WAY to move? I would probably have no choice but to move because I don't want to fight and I hate smoke. I can smell and taste it even when people are smoking outdoors so I make sure I walk far away even when people are being respectful and smoking outdoors. I found that some people, even asked nicely, do not take kindly to being told to please not smoke around me. I really don't think smokers understand the impact of the smoke...I used to be able to taste the smoke in restaurants that had smoking sections...I am glad they finally banned it in all restaurants out here. When my husband smoked (he had to do it outside) I could smell it on his clothes and couldn't get the smell out. I'm so glad he quit! But, frankly, I don't think you can fix this without making everyone else hate you. I always feel like smoke exposure is risky to kids and myself so I would probably do all I could, including move to an even less attractive place, if people did not smoke outside of their apartments. Especially if my kids still lived at home and had breathing problems, I'd maybe have to plan to wait six months, but I'd get out of there. I don't think people usually smoke outside of their apartment buildings. I think your place is the exception. I sure wish you luck. This is a difficult problem and I hope you can find a good answer for your family. [/QUOTE]
