Smoke Smell
We have a smoke smell in our bedroom apartment that we think is coming from our neighbors. We’ve put plastic on the window, but it hasn’t solved the problem. Any advice? New window? Air purifier? Is there someone to consult?

If it’s cigarette smoke, is it just in that one room? Or does it waft into whatever room they’re under?
My sister had the same problem, her being the smoker and it wafting into the downstairs neighbor’s apartment. They found out it was just in one main room so stopped smoking in that room.
I know it seems simple but I’m a smoke and swear by candles, scented and regular. It helps to eliminate the odor in the moment and from lingering later on.
are you talking about cigarette smoke smell? just go talk to the neighbors first in a polite way. i had a neighbor come to me once and told me that the smell of cigarettes was wafting up into her apartment, so i just started smoking outside, no big deal. im sure other people will have better suggestions if your neighbor is a dick about it.

I had a similar problem (although the smell was not cigs) and the following worked pretty well. caulk the entire perimeter of the room where the floor meets the walls and around outlet plates with clear paintable sealant. Don’t forget the closet too. And also around any hard wired light fixtures. If you do a careful job, you will hardly see it when it’s dry.
