We had this issue but with weed! Kids smoke right below our window. DH went out and yelled at them twice. Next time I'm going and callin the cops lol

@deerylou: Not to threadjack but you really should! At 6 weeks pp I've been eating 3-5 prunes a day since leaving the hospital.

@LazyLightning: And it's been helping?

@deerylou: Definitely. Works better than colace IMHO.

Here's some CA-specific resources on smoking laws as they relate to housing:
http://www.center4tobaccopolicy.org/localpolicies-smokefreehousingLaws by city/community (where smoking is permitted, prohibited, etc.): http://www.center4tobaccopolicy.org/CTPO/_files/_file/Matrix%20of%20Smokefree%20Housing%20Authority%20Policies%20December%202012.pdf
Cities/communities where it's prohibited in outdoor common areas:

I have to shamefully admit that if I were them, I wouldn't stop either. If you had asked me now that I'm older and expecting a baby myself I would absolutely be accomodating though. Up until the point when I was ready to start a family, I was really sensitive about my 'rights' being taken away by people with babies. I dont' know why and I know it was immature. But I would have thought - well if they didn't want to be near smokers they could have bought a house. Maybe that's how these girls see it, in which case your only option is to try management. Good luck, my former self and those girls are being very rude!!

Just wanted to update this thread - my neighbors are being evicted at the end of the month. Several residents have been bothered by their continuous and obsessive smoking, and the neighbors in question have been extremely rude and confrontational (re: swearing) when kindly approached about it. The younger girls ended up getting in a very heated argument one evening, which prompted several neighbors to call the police. We're a "one police call, and you're out" community, so they were given the boot.
Added bonus: the complex is taking the legal steps needed to become completely smoke free. Rejoice!

@deerylou: Woot! That's awesome! I hope you are back to enjoying clean air shortly
Good riddance!
-
@deerylou: awesome news! Ps hide your car so you don't get keyed!
-
@deerylou: Whoo! Glad this is ending well for you.
-
@deerylou: Nice!
-
@deerylou: I'm so glad this got resolved!
-
@deerylou: how lame that they caused so many issues, but I'm so glad they are leaving! Yay!
-
Yay!

@deerylou: That's awesome!! I had the same issue with our downstairs neighbors except they were renting and we just bought. So we didn't really have any remedy - we couldn't just move out. Turns out the previous owners/tenants had complained so we were the 2nd round of complaints. After being warned to stop smoking and continuing, they were told that their lease wouldn't be renewed. They're moving out August 26 - wooh! It's a little awkward running into them in the stairway but we did nothing wrong so I don't feel totally bad. And my lungs are so grateful!
-
Wow, those girls sound like peaches. Glad they're moving out.
-
Glad it's resolved! I hate cigarette smoke.
Good riddance!
