Hard case. I am all for property rights but HOAs and Condo Associations trump them. I also understand that you do NOT have the right to damage or devalue another's property.

I know I would go crazy if smoke from my neighbor's unit was coming into my condo. I can't even stand a hotel room that has been smoked in.

I have personally provoked the vapors in some people by simply having a fake cigarette in my mouth in commercial establishments.

This is clearly a neurosis.

We must realign all of the acceptable behaviors of society now to accomodate the insane?

I am certainly no supporter of a Nanny State, but I live in an apartment and the cigarette smoke from the unit underneath me is unbearable at times. I have purchased two Ionic Breeze air purifiers and they do help to some degree, but the odor is so pungent that my place still stinks. If a person wants to smoke in their apartment, fine, but only as long as it doesn't invade my apartment space.

Smokers can go outside to smoke. I really resent those who tell me that I should be the one to go outside for a breath of clean air.

I don't want smoke in my lungs, so I don't smoke or go to smokey places. I don't believe in telling bars that they have to go smoke free, etc. But I have to live somewhere, and on some days I am inside for many hours and I am forced to participate in a filthy habit that could be done just as well outside. Common sense needs to prevail here, and I think that the one causing the problem needs to be the one to alter their behavior.
