Smokers are addicts, and addicts live solely for their next fix. Nothing else matters. Nicotine is approximately twenty times more addictive than heroin. The reason why we hang heroin users and coddle nicotine junkies is twofold: 1.) Because of the tobacco tax revenues. 2.) Because of the smoker vote.
they are also addicts. addictive substances of which is nicotine in cigarettes is a very power one should be control for benefits or banned from society. this is not being "selfish" or trampling on smokers' rights to do smoke. smoking is one activity. it is not "every" activity a person can engage in. existing laws are primary about prevention of harm by way of information of the laws and penalties. why is the law NOT preventing outright the serious harm from 2nd hand smoke? the half and half measure serves no one and protects no one. why must the victim also take up videography to record evidence, (perhaps "invading" smokers' "privacy" to smoke?) of smoker smoking with cigarette in hand? why don't victims' witness statement count as reasonable info/evidence for law to be applied?
For the past two homes I've lived in, I've lived next to miserable women who stayed home all day chainsmoking as I worked from home, breathing in their air. The lack of accountability and paths forward is seriously MADDENING, there is proof of how damaging cigarettes are to bystanders and how they damage properties, but "nothing can be done" is what the rental property owners will always say. Insane to think my health is suffering because of other people I don't even know!
I’m a victim to this. Prior to moving, I specifically asked my landlord if there are any other smokers in the other units. They said no. When I moved in and paid the lease, here comes the smoke. Worse is that they keep harassing me with the smoke. Despite sealing the whole room they keep on puffing the smoke through my airconditioner. And whenever I complain, they always say I’m the one who’s nitpicking. Complaining to the landlord doesn’t do anything either, they just treat it the same as a tenant being too picky. I wish a day comes when smoking becomes a crime in all countries and all form of cigarette products, whether that’s an e-cigaretter or not, so long as it blows smoke, becomes banned. Smoking should become a crime.
Overlooked, tobacco is an herb with medicinal properties. The Indians used the herb Tobacco for medicinal purposes for centuries. For one, it's an antidote to malaria.
Most effective way to get rid of cigarette smoke is water mist, basically very small droplets. They attach to the smoke particles and make it fall to the ground. Use a pressure pump like for a terrarium and attach a few feet of tube to it. One nozzle every 2 feet. Couple the pump with a PM25 meter via a smarthome setup. Everytime the neighbour lights up, the water mist will stop the particles in its path.

Wtf? "cameras must capture the person smoking with the lighted cigarette" is same as saying murderers should be caught killing a person on camera for him to be prosecuted🙄
this means the law is NOT taking murder by 2nd hand smoke seriously at all. sure homicide is more serious in comparison but slow murder is more perverse and deadly because it kills silently. the law is wrong on this.
Don't wanna sound selfish Smoking should be banned If chewing gum can be banned I don't understand why smoking can't be banned. And if that's too harsh A new law can be imposed such that smoking can only take place in allocated and enclosed areas. Anywhere else should be illegal I hope this video helps to spread awareness on this issue
Chewing gum banned ? You mean in schools because of them littering? Why not enforce stricter littering laws? & that would also step into the smokers polluting their butts & ashes along w/the smoke & vape. Which the crimes for smokers need to be allot tougher. Trespassing, Assault, & battery & destruction of property!
It isn't selfish to say smoking should be banned. Second hand smoke is known to cause permanent damage to people who don't smoke so basically very bad stuff is happening to them from smoking when they don't even smoke. It is selfish to smoke, not the other way around.
But not tobacco. Tobacco is an herb with medicinal benefits. The Indians used tobacco for its medicinal purposes for centuries. Its a great antidote to malaria.
I have neighbours who has been smoking at his front gate for 3 years. 18 times a day. The secondhand smoke spreads to our unit through our main door and windows. We spoke nicely with him. Applied for centre of Mediation to work out solutions but he turned down. We seek help from NEA and town council including our MP But they can also issue notices to the neighbour rather than police the situation. We have spent hundreds of dollars for air filter systems but the smoke still persists. But the problem still persists. We are taking neighbours to Civil court under neighbour disputes Act. I have 70year old parents in my household. And they deserve a conducive retirement home. Let's see how it goes.
Oh, how I empathize!! Cigarettes should be illegal!! Old man downstairs smokes his head off . . Never leaves. I never leave. It is like living in a bar. It seeps up from the floor, comes in through the smallest cracks. I have been allergic every day for almost 3 years!! Asthma attacks, no healthcare... Man next door chain smokes, but works, so it's not as bad, but the weekends!! 🤯 Dying to move this spring! It's hell!
how would you know the new place you moved to is smoke-free? how long would it be smoke free when the govt do nothing substantive and material to protect non smokers who continues to suffer silence? or is it silent by the tremendous right to smoke in their own home. smokers also create situations where their neighbours also 2nd hand smoke in own home, without choice or any say at all.
@@rustygx4867 he say maybe he's been doing it too. 2nd hand smoke is already "smoke on peoples faces" and that is assault/battery. definitely a crime. because he intended to harm and he said so too.
My lungs have been ruined since I was a baby because my father was too lazy to go outside and smoke. Now as an adult I'm very sensitive to any smoke and feel like I'm suffocating
I live in a quite large semi detached house, neighbours either side, joined & not are always out smoking. The one joined on stand at her door smoking, one living room window opens out & to the left. So there’s nothing to stop her stench. I despise smoking, it’s killed relatives and my nose burns from it. A neighbour across the street insists she can’t wear a mask because she has asthma…but she smokes a lot. 🤷♀️ I call that bs!
Would be nice if we could develop a chemical to spray that causes smokers to feel pain. Like the chemical is breathed in and when you smoke your airways close up and react with the chemical. Making you immediately stop.

I am tormented daily by selfish people in the next door Muslim mosque. I suffer from asthma, but they refuse to show any consideration. They say that we're interfering with their pleasure! Imagine lying in bed trying to get a good night's sleep, as is every human's right, and your lungs, mouth, clothing, skin, fills up with smoke, despite closing all doors and windows. Instead of being a 'blessing to the neighbourhood, those Muslims next door have proved to be a curse. 5 elderly people living in close proximity have all died within a short time of the Smokers Lounge mosque's arrival.
Smokers are just selfish. Authorities don't dare to enforce because it will make them look bad. They don't want to be the unpopular politician who enforced strict laws. In Singapore, what cannot be enforced?
smokers are addicts. the drug may be legal, so they are legal addicts doing great harm everywhere they smoke where ppl who are forced to breath in their toxins pays with health and money, now and into the future. this is so unfair. the law on this is unlawful!
It’s a greedy trail of money to look the other way. Well those days are running short. Because the evidence has mounted so high that it’s falling on everyone’s heads! Answers to complaints w/righteous judgement & restitution.
I am experiencing the same thing myself in the UK with two neighbours below me and its just infuriating. How can their right to smoke on their property supersede my right to breath in clean air? Criminal...
I'm in the same boat. I'm going to talk to my downstairs neighbor within the next few days about it. If he doesn't stop, and is adamant about his right to smoke, I'm going to buy a few plants to sit on my patio and water 'them' on my deck whenever he smokes, so that he'll get soaked as the water travels below. He's also unemployed and soaking government assistance, so he does absolutely nothing but smoke nearly 12 hours a day, drinking beer and watching RUclips. It's not fair that I can't enjoy my nights while fearing lung damage due to his bad habit.
@AKXU You're not sitting on the freeway inhaling every muffler that drives by.. You're sitting on your property, and inhaling dangerous toxins because your neighbor chooses to engage in the behavior. It's no different than a noise violation; if it's 3 A.M. on a Tuesday and your neighbor is being unreasonably loud, they can get cited for disrupting the peace because their behavior is disrupting others
@AKXU What are you talking about? The effects of 2nd hand smoke are clear. We're not talking about having to smell the smoke every now and then, we're talking about the effect of 2nd hand smoke being trapped in a space over a period of time.
their right to smoke do not supersede your right to breath clean air. it is criminal. because there is a perpetrator and a victim. the law/enforcement pretends it is "too big" or not serious enough to "handle".
@AKXU this is a different problem. if you cannot solve a bigger problem means you don't solve any problem? you are "smoking" a logical fallacy that's how.
It is absurd that smokers Are complitely free to do whatever they want, being complitely free to smoke as Much as they want, affecting the people living all around them. It is unbeleavable that there is not the other way around
As I was watching this I starting inhaling a ton of second-hand smoke from my neighbor literally being on my side of the balcony with his hand and cigarette outside almost touching my balcony. Nice.
I moved in to a new build appartment. Three weeks later I began to feel sick. Six weeks later I had Multi-Chemical-Sensitivity and will have this for the rest of my life. I can not be anywhere where people smoke, vape or wear perfume. That means it is a challenge just going for a walk. More than 80% of the cigarette pollution is odourless and the toxins are odourless. People have no clue how much nicotinaddicts pollute the air it is wild. Cigarette smoke can pollute the air up to 500 meter away. People vape everywhere on trains, in grocery stores. If an addict has particles from cigarette smoke or vape on their clothes it makes me to sick to be near them. So I have to leave the que or the elevator if there are and nicotinaddict. Perfume is also very toxic and unhealthy. Strangers shouldn’t have to smell your perfume. It gives people headaches, breathing problems, heart problems. It is very rude and selfish. Having Multi Chemical Sensitity and being able to detect the odourless toxins is like: every one you in your town is deaf so they don’t mind all the people that scream into megaphones right in their face and because everbody is deaf it is perfectly acceptable for your neighbours to do constructionswork at all hours.
I have EXACTLY same problem , its disgusting . Neighbour smokes outside and it drifts over to my home :( makes me feel sick. Its ruined my lovely home for me and I cannot move away. i have to keep all doors and windows shut . I used to love gardening but now when i go into my garden it stinks of smoke and my throat gets sore, The smoke gets inside my small home and just sits inside my house. I have never had this issue b4 anywhere I have lived. Its awful.
I do not understand the philosofi coming to situations like This . That smokers Are aloud to damage the health of other people, without it getting any consequenses.
We can't chew gum, but we allow cigarettes! The pain of second-hand smoke makes the whole community sick. If tobacco itself cannot be banned, then smoking in residences (HDB, Condo) should be banned.

I'm going through the EXACT some thing. And it feels as though 1/2 my life is spent deflecting and getting rid of their disgusting smoke. I'm not even sure WHY cigarettes are still legal, but that wouldn't make a difference. Hasn't made a different to marijuana smoking.
smoking & excessive drinking is really bad for health - it seems cool at first but years goes by all disease will come. i lost my grandfather due to smoking which caused cancer. he died 65 years.
Some people care more about their addiction than their own health. I knew an older man who was in and out of the hospital and didn't care about his own life.
How about if several of us get together and sue the state of the country we live in? After all, they are responsible for not protecting us from the damage caused by secondhand smoke?
They've yet to find proof of the dangers of 2nd hand smoke. And don't give me some scientific report as scientists can be more corrupt than politicians.
why is smelling the smoke not enough "for enforcement"? is this why non-smokers continues from minute to minute victimized by smokers' 2nd hand smoke? non-smokers have to be "smokers paparazi" too? to capture smokers smoking with cigarette in their hands? they smoke inside their units. x-ray video mobile cameras have yet to be invented. why is the "law" so handicapped or have handicapped itself? is this crime not deep serious enough to use circumstantial and witness statements "for enforcement"?
Something is off in the thought process.if point a gun and shoot someone I commit a crime it injured them.yet with a burning carcinogen I claim multiple victims and the law is ok with that...justice is indeed blind!
Need to help and reward smokers to quit. Heavier tax and more premium insurance to smokers for contributing to health issues and rise of healthcare costs. I’m an ex-smoker. Quit cold turkey. The smell is everywhere in the rooms, hair, clothes, sheets, car, just unpleasant. Luckily my lungs are not damaged e.g. COPD.
Can somebody please answer. My dad smokes everyday in the bathroom / whole house while im inside. How do my lungs look like. How does my health look like. I dont want to suffer later on in life im only 13 years old. He has been smoking inside since i was born. He wont listen and is so selfish. What do I do?
I live in a community where theres a no smokin policy, but my neighbor's dont care if it leaks into my apartment. Its been gij going on for a year. I'm edging on reporting them to the office. Stressed out with my current situation with the added depression/anxiety. 😢
these anti social anti environmental anti moral? are all consistent with smoking activity. this is no surprise. the world do not exists beyond their finger tips. the "outside" world is their ashtray and rubbish bin. this is where everyone not them happen to live...and victimized by smokers.
I have asthma issues, I've never smoked, but my neighbors in the house next door smoke, I can't even open the window for fresh air in the hot summer without taking a risk. They can argue, oh we have the right to smoke on our porch or in our house.....OK, I'll just pop open some polyurathane cans and some other known toxic fumes in my driveway because it's my driveway....not my fault where the fumes go right?
The same happens in the India... Tamil Nadu Second Hand Smoke coming from Neighbour when he get to toilet 🚽.. Told him manytimes Still using it... I am non smoking... When I inhale the Second Hand Smoke... I feel irritating..
I dun understand why the govt cant ban smoking...is the tax on cigarettes tt lucrative? Shouldnt ppl's health be considered first? It annoys me whenever i am walking in public spaces and then i smell smoke. Now w my baby, it annoys me even more when i walk him. Isnt smoking a harmful addiction? If it is, why do we tolerate it? Thankful to CNA for working on this issue!
there are fewer smokers compare to victims of smokers. the govt is incapable of understanding this simple problem. smoking is NOT a right. many human activities are either outlawed outright, murder for one, causing harm, intent to cause harm/murder etc etc. the law is about prevention, protection and penalty/punishment/recompense. but no one can give you your health back. no one can cure your cancer with issues and concepts of personal rights. i think smokers think they are ENTITLED to smoke. smoking is their privilege because of how it makes them feel. and because they are already drug, nicotine, addicts. they choose to smoke and make 2ndhandsmokers to smoke along with them - forcibly.
Honey I honestly feel sorry for you, I refer to apartment living As living in a Chicken Coop, 🐔 🐔 🐔 I hate it and who ever smokes 🚬 on your floor you get the drift, there should be none smoking apartment's 🚭 for people with lung problems or you just don't like to breath the filthy smell, most smokers are rude, 😖 and won't ask you if it bothers you, some which are very few will Ask if it bothers you.
Wow, those women justifying the risk of secondhand smoke with wind direction and staying trapped in his suite with a new baby. Wow. So punishing those who smoke illegally in their suites and balconies isn't plausible. Wow.
I am having this problem but I have about 10 units that smoke around me. And even with the windows and doors closed I still smell it. I am having a problem with my lungs. I have alot of air purifiers seem like dont work too well.
Can we talk about hoarders or people who clutter the walkway in front of houses next? That is really an issue. How many fire is needed for this to be an issue?
I think y'all are very bad at selling smoking problems. Y'all somehow haven't found the golden goose on how to discourage. Y'all should be asking smokers what they do, like picking up leftover stick at the bus stop rubbish bin, non smoker like myself need wait they say then we know. Y'all should be marketing such disgusting things.
exactly. how would he know where he moved to there are no smokers or only good neighbour smokers? there is no such place..maybe deepest darkest jungle.
My neighbor above me smokes endlessly. I developed emphasema do to second hand smoke. I've asked her several times nicely to open a window she had a couple of times but goes back to it. So I just got me a can of fart spray on line where the stretch lingures for a couple of days. That's how I'm taking handling it. Sweet revenge because nothing can be done about it legally
The fact the neighbour keeps his door and windows closed 24/7/365 "just in case" his neighbour has a 5m smoke break is ridiculous. He's harming his children's health by doing that as well. There needs to be ventilation for fresh air in a home. Breathing in enclosed spaces with many breathing humans means diminishing levels of oxygen and elevated levels of carbon dioxide over time. He can open the front door if the neighbour is smoking on the balcony, and he can get the air intake from the door instead of balcony, totally on the opposite side of the house.
He can open the front door opposite where the smoke is? You don’t understand how it can travel & the wind blows different directions making it disperse all around you. There’s no escaping it. CEASE & DESIST smokers & Vapers! You fools need to get a clue & stop being used puppets!
What a brainless comparison. Vehicles move goods and people around. Cigarettes are just one person's selfish indulgence with zero contribution to society.
Cigarette smoke contains a larger variety and higher concentrations of highly toxic pollutant than vehicle exhaust. Vehicle exhaust is filtered and heavily monitored for pollutants above thresholds established by law. Cigarette smoke is not. Educate yourself. And, as mentioned below, vehicles at least generate an economic good, ie. providing transportation. Cigarettes exist purely to satisfy the cravings of a community of drug addicts.
Are you one of those selfish smokers? We are talking about second hand smoke. Just roll up the windows completely and smoke as much as you want. Why to involve other innocents in suicide mission? It's not less deadly than a suicide bomber. Car fumes are not as toxic as smoking fumes.
Smokers are very very very selfish, everyone has stress, don't use it as an excuse.
Totally agree!!

It is absurd that smokers Are complitely free to do whatever they want, being complitely free to smoke as Much as they want, affecting the people living all around them. It is unbeleavable that there is not the other way around
As I was watching this I starting inhaling a ton of second-hand smoke from my neighbor literally being on my side of the balcony with his hand and cigarette outside almost touching my balcony. Nice.
This is still a problem today. What's wrong with the architect and planners in hdb doing? Why are residents smelling each other?
I moved in to a new build appartment. Three weeks later I began to feel sick. Six weeks later I had Multi-Chemical-Sensitivity and will have this for the rest of my life. I can not be anywhere where people smoke, vape or wear perfume. That means it is a challenge just going for a walk. More than 80% of the cigarette pollution is odourless and the toxins are odourless. People have no clue how much nicotinaddicts pollute the air it is wild. Cigarette smoke can pollute the air up to 500 meter away. People vape everywhere on trains, in grocery stores.
If an addict has particles from cigarette smoke or vape on their clothes it makes me to sick to be near them. So I have to leave the que or the elevator if there are and nicotinaddict. Perfume is also very toxic and unhealthy. Strangers shouldn’t have to smell your perfume. It gives people headaches, breathing problems, heart problems. It is very rude and selfish.
Having Multi Chemical Sensitity and being able to detect the odourless toxins is like: every one you in your town is deaf so they don’t mind all the people that scream into megaphones right in their face and because everbody is deaf it is perfectly acceptable for your neighbours to do constructionswork at all hours.
Victims would be glad to work with NEA officers to stake out the perp. Saying hard to enforce is an excuse.
I have EXACTLY same problem , its disgusting . Neighbour smokes outside and it drifts over to my home :( makes me feel sick. Its ruined my lovely home for me and I cannot move away. i have to keep all doors and windows shut . I used to love gardening but now when i go into my garden it stinks of smoke and my throat gets sore, The smoke gets inside my small home and just sits inside my house. I have never had this issue b4 anywhere I have lived. Its awful.
hey bro, you got an hoa? or just ask them about it? It couldn't hurt especially if you've talked to them once or twice
I do not understand the philosofi coming to situations like This . That smokers Are aloud to damage the health of other people, without it getting any consequenses.
We can't chew gum, but we allow cigarettes! The pain of second-hand smoke makes the whole community sick. If tobacco itself cannot be banned, then smoking in residences (HDB, Condo) should be banned.
Most effective way to get rid of cigarette smoke is water mist, basically very small droplets. They attach to the smoke particles and make it fall to the ground.
Use a pressure pump like for a terrarium and attach a few feet of tube to it. One nozzle every 2 feet. Couple the pump with a PM25 meter via a smarthome setup.
Everytime the neighbour lights up, the water mist will stop the particles in its path.
I'm going through the EXACT some thing. And it feels as though 1/2 my life is spent deflecting and getting rid of their disgusting smoke. I'm not even sure WHY cigarettes are still legal, but that wouldn't make a difference. Hasn't made a different to marijuana smoking.
Build smoking “shelters” like those in Japan. Wonder why this idea was never done in Singapore.
lame?
They’re trash. He have them here and they put them close to busy areas so I always inhale second hand smoke
They should chew tobacco
smoking & excessive drinking is really bad for health - it seems cool at first but years goes by all disease will come. i lost my grandfather due to smoking which caused cancer. he died 65 years.
damage own health is one thing. damage neighbour's health is totally different thing.
Some people care more about their addiction than their own health.
I knew an older man who was in and out of the hospital and didn't care about his own life.
How about if several of us get together and sue the state of the country we live in? After all, they are responsible for not protecting us from the damage caused by secondhand smoke?
They've yet to find proof of the dangers of 2nd hand smoke. And don't give me some scientific report as scientists can be more corrupt than politicians.
I wish we can but do u think singaporeans dare to oppose the goverment? Absolutely not
why is smelling the smoke not enough "for enforcement"? is this why non-smokers continues from minute to minute victimized by smokers' 2nd hand smoke? non-smokers have to be "smokers paparazi" too? to capture smokers smoking with cigarette in their hands? they smoke inside their units. x-ray video mobile cameras have yet to be invented. why is the "law" so handicapped or have handicapped itself? is this crime not deep serious enough to use circumstantial and witness statements "for enforcement"?
I’m w/you on that. Paparazzi lol 😂 I know it’s not a laughing matter. We must change the laws.
Something is off in the thought process.if point a gun and shoot someone I commit a crime it injured them.yet with a burning carcinogen I claim multiple victims and the law is ok with that...justice is indeed blind!
Need to help and reward smokers to quit. Heavier tax and more premium insurance to smokers for contributing to health issues and rise of healthcare costs. I’m an ex-smoker. Quit cold turkey. The smell is everywhere in the rooms, hair, clothes, sheets, car, just unpleasant. Luckily my lungs are not damaged e.g. COPD.
Can somebody please answer. My dad smokes everyday in the bathroom / whole house while im inside. How do my lungs look like. How does my health look like. I dont want to suffer later on in life im only 13 years old. He has been smoking inside since i was born. He wont listen and is so selfish. What do I do?
I live in a community where theres a no smokin policy, but my neighbor's dont care if it leaks into my apartment. Its been gij going on for a year. I'm edging on reporting them to the office. Stressed out with my current situation with the added depression/anxiety. 😢
Definitely report them!! Why the hesitation? Absolutely no reason to not report while you have the blessing of living in a no smoking community.
They Big Problem is People nowadays throw their Cigarette Butts,Rubbish,Plastic Cups,Sweet Bottle Drinks,Fast Food Wrappers all over the place!!
these anti social anti environmental anti moral? are all consistent with smoking activity. this is no surprise. the world do not exists beyond their finger tips. the "outside" world is their ashtray and rubbish bin. this is where everyone not them happen to live...and victimized by smokers.
I have asthma issues, I've never smoked, but my neighbors in the house next door smoke, I can't even open the window for fresh air in the hot summer without taking a risk. They can argue, oh we have the right to smoke on our porch or in our house.....OK, I'll just pop open some polyurathane cans and some other known toxic fumes in my driveway because it's my driveway....not my fault where the fumes go right?
my grandma always smokes in the other room even tho i have lung complications i cant even heal from it cuz of her smoking
Call the police
And then there's the smoke from the burning of joss paper twice a month.
The same happens in the India... Tamil Nadu
Second Hand Smoke coming from Neighbour when he get to toilet 🚽.. Told him manytimes Still using it... I am non smoking... When I inhale the Second Hand Smoke... I feel irritating..
I dun understand why the govt cant ban smoking...is the tax on cigarettes tt lucrative? Shouldnt ppl's health be considered first? It annoys me whenever i am walking in public spaces and then i smell smoke. Now w my baby, it annoys me even more when i walk him. Isnt smoking a harmful addiction? If it is, why do we tolerate it? Thankful to CNA for working on this issue!
there are fewer smokers compare to victims of smokers. the govt is incapable of understanding this simple problem. smoking is NOT a right. many human activities are either outlawed outright, murder for one, causing harm, intent to cause harm/murder etc etc. the law is about prevention, protection and penalty/punishment/recompense. but no one can give you your health back. no one can cure your cancer with issues and concepts of personal rights. i think smokers think they are ENTITLED to smoke. smoking is their privilege because of how it makes them feel. and because they are already drug, nicotine, addicts. they choose to smoke and make 2ndhandsmokers to smoke along with them - forcibly.
Honey I honestly feel sorry for you, I refer to apartment living As living in a Chicken Coop, 🐔 🐔 🐔 I hate it and who ever smokes 🚬 on your floor you get the drift, there should be none smoking apartment's 🚭 for people with lung problems or you just don't like to breath the filthy smell, most smokers are rude, 😖 and won't ask you if it bothers you, some which are very few will Ask if it bothers you.
very ironic, tobacco sales is allowed (to generate) revenue but the sale of other controlled/prohibited drugs are not
Yall put Amy Khor at the back as a troll right? Please be so. She has zero credibility and scores full marks for taichi.
Wow, those women justifying the risk of secondhand smoke with wind direction and staying trapped in his suite with a new baby. Wow. So punishing those who smoke illegally in their suites and balconies isn't plausible. Wow.
My mom smokes 💀
I have a yard flag on my patio which tell me how the wind is blowing as my neighbor smokes every 30 mins on his patio.
Heavy smokers below same floor wife has stage 4 pancreas liver cancer
Help! I'm having to prove my neighbor is smoking. It drifts into my apt.. Where can I purchase a detector for my apartment?
bared smoking on the balcony (smoking should be outside building)
when the balcony door opens...the volume of smoking is huge..
Should have legalized chewing tobacco instead of cigarettes and cigars, chewing is smokeless and users chew entirely at their own risks.
Do the same in law like it is done with other drugs.
I smell it once in the air & I Get itchy throat, Stuffed nose & Post nasal Drip & Dissiness. I get The flu in A Second of smell ing Cigarette smoke.
I may have 2seperate lawsuits against my residence & neighbor.
I am having this problem but I have about 10 units that smoke around me. And even with the windows and doors closed I still smell it. I am having a problem with my lungs. I have alot of air purifiers seem like dont work too well.
Can we talk about hoarders or people who clutter the walkway in front of houses next?
That is really an issue. How many fire is needed for this to be an issue?
fire started from "care-less" cigarette butts?
I think y'all are very bad at selling smoking problems. Y'all somehow haven't found the golden goose on how to discourage. Y'all should be asking smokers what they do, like picking up leftover stick at the bus stop rubbish bin, non smoker like myself need wait they say then we know. Y'all should be marketing such disgusting things.
moving out? please la. so many smokers around. your new neighbour most likely another smoker
exactly. how would he know where he moved to there are no smokers or only good neighbour smokers? there is no such place..maybe deepest darkest jungle.
My neighbor above me smokes endlessly. I developed emphasema do to second hand smoke. I've asked her several times nicely to open a window she had a couple of times but goes back to it. So I just got me a can of fart spray on line where the stretch lingures for a couple of days. That's how I'm taking handling it. Sweet revenge because nothing can be done about it legally
Dafuqq been livng with our father who smokes about 4 sticks now (6 -10before) for years
👋
The fact the neighbour keeps his door and windows closed 24/7/365 "just in case" his neighbour has a 5m smoke break is ridiculous. He's harming his children's health by doing that as well. There needs to be ventilation for fresh air in a home. Breathing in enclosed spaces with many breathing humans means diminishing levels of oxygen and elevated levels of carbon dioxide over time. He can open the front door if the neighbour is smoking on the balcony, and he can get the air intake from the door instead of balcony, totally on the opposite side of the house.
why are you blaming the victim?
He can open the front door opposite where the smoke is? You don’t understand how it can travel & the wind blows different directions making it disperse all around you. There’s no escaping it. CEASE & DESIST smokers & Vapers! You fools need to get a clue & stop being used puppets!
Like me my front door is a shared entrance with the upstairs neighbor and I do open my bedroom windows but that’s down and around a hall.
OCD
drug addicts. and this poor man and his family is forcibly become smokers of drug nicotine and thousand of toxin compounds...
Definitely not as much as all the car fumes in singapore. So what’s your point? Target the right issue here please.
What a brainless comparison. Vehicles move goods and people around. Cigarettes are just one person's selfish indulgence with zero contribution to society.
@@wh6055 pollution is pollution. Your view that car pollution is acceptable shows how narrow minded you are.
@@mokkiemok6191 The fact that you feel the need to talk about cars in a video about smoking, shows where your bias is.
Cigarette smoke contains a larger variety and higher concentrations of highly toxic pollutant than vehicle exhaust. Vehicle exhaust is filtered and heavily monitored for pollutants above thresholds established by law. Cigarette smoke is not. Educate yourself.
And, as mentioned below, vehicles at least generate an economic good, ie. providing transportation. Cigarettes exist purely to satisfy the cravings of a community of drug addicts.
Are you one of those selfish smokers? We are talking about second hand smoke.
Just roll up the windows completely and smoke as much as you want. Why to involve other innocents in suicide mission? It's not less deadly than a suicide bomber.
Car fumes are not as toxic as smoking fumes.
