There are two solutions to this problem. Both involve the parties to the problem doing something themselves, instead of suing.

A would be for the complaining non-smokers to move to housing that doesn't share structural elements with other housing. It's a lot harder for your neighbor to blow smoke into your house if it's 15 feet away from his.

B would be for the smokers either to quit smoking, or to move to stand-alone housing.

I don't advocate either, although as soon as Xena's Guy and I build our house we are never sharing walls with anyone again. (Nothing personal - I like our neighbors just fine - but a house is a house and an apartment is an apartment, and a townhouse/condo is too much the latter to be considered the former.)

A variation on "A" & "B". -- Seeing the condo Association changed the rules, they should be liable for buying out either party and restoring the peace. The association could then re-sell to new owners who accepted the new rules.
