Our next door neighbor husband and wife (shomer shabbos) smoke all day and night in their yard. They come outside to smoke every 15 minutes. We can’t keep our windows open like priseners. Its their yard and can’t stop them we are prisoners in our own home. We asked nicely and nothing has changed. Any recomendations
A. There are systems you can install which will clean the air, so that you can’t smell it. It is expensive, but cheaper than moving, and cheaper than being mad at your neighbors.
B. Offer them money to stop smoking outside.
a) Sue them.
b) Buy a fan.
Why are you living in northern Michigan?
Help them try to quit??
Relaxation: There’s a city in northern Michigan called Hell. I assumed 😉 you were talking about that. And yes, it does freeze over just about every winter.
relaxation – Offer to go to the store to purchase their cigs for them. Buy them the strongest, non-filter you can find (Camel perhaps). This way you won’t have to wait years before they are living in the hospital or the cemetary, it will only be months.
“..living in.. or the cemetery..” How does one do that?
I highly doubt there is anything you can do.
Put on irritating music right out your window as soon as they come out to smoke, and shut it when they leave. Keep on doing this until they stop.
Apart from bringing it up to them non-confrontationally, all you can really do is move or buy a ventilation system.
A lot depends on your relationship with these neighbors.
Do they realize that the smoke is also getting to their kids even if they only smoke outside? It isn’t stopping the smoke, and they are seriously endangering their kids (not to mention you).
Invite their kids over as soon as they start smoking. When they act surprised, tell them you figure they can breath in the second hand smoke together with you…
