Our next door neighbours are very heavy smokers and we get a bit fed up
with the smell of it.

Wondering if we bought one of those fairly big house fans and placed it
on the garden table whether it would make any difference or would be it
be a waste of time?

Try it. I wish my new neighbours would just smoke rather than only occupy
their house when they are going to have a huge party. A car blocked me
in, and I asked them to move (this was at 9a.m. and he said he would only
be there for a few minutes, so I agreed ok) It was there until 7 pm.
and there were people spilling into the street talking at the top of their
voices all day.
This is a quiet area, this is the 2nd noisy party in a few weeks. They
will not fit in if they continue.
They do not even seem to be living there, just using it for parties.
It drives me wild.

Looking at this from my viewpoint as a smoker.
If my neighbours objected to me smoking in my garden I doubt if I would do
much about it as I never smoke in the house as I (yip) hate the smell.
I also wont smoke in front of non smokers restuarants etc. I would probably
smoke at a point further away from the boundry if they approached me in a
mannerable way.
My neighbours have frequent BBQs which I hate (the smoke/smell) but as its
only once or twice a week I just ignore.
If a neighbour uses a lot of garlic in food I have major issues as I react
badly to the smell, so I hide indoors.
Point is we live in close proximity and have to put up with some annoyances,
as long as they are not major.
Hell we could have a lot worse, I know I have. we are unlikely to have the
perfect world/surroundings unless we have the wealth to buy it.
