Greetings,

My neighbor’s invalid son smokes in the attached wood frame house next to ours. Windows are open now so there isn’t much of a smell, but I know the smell will get worse when they shut their windows.

We have spoken to the parents who have been receptive to my complaints about the smell. It seems that their son was smoking in the bathroom with the exhaust fan turned on. The vent exits their house next to my daughters window. When I told them that I believed there was damage to the vent which caused the smoke to not vent properly and find it’s way into my daughters room, they covered the bathroom vent so that no smoke would find its way into the vent.

But now that the vent is closed I smell smoke in my son’s room which does not have a wall adjacent to my neighbors. It seems that the smell is eminating in his room from the floorboards. Right now I do not have anything covering the floor boards. I’ve thought of covering the floor with wood or linoleum but think that the smell will find it’s way into our house some other way.

Anyone have any suggestions about how to keep the neighbor’s smoke from entering our house.

Thanks.

Gideon
