Blowing Neighbours smell away
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? |

Sometimes a thick hedge between them and you could help. Trees and shrubs are supposed to absorb pollution aren't they? If not, lots of strong smelling stuff on boundary like rosemary, pennyroayl, mint, even curry plants!

That sounds like a lot of expense and trouble. Presumably both households sit out in the garden regularly and, presumably need to sit close to the shared boundary? What establishes the boundary at the moment ... a fence .. a hedge .. chainlink? -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

Typical smoker's reply. Well, if we ignore the obvious trolling and prejudice, cigarette smoke makes a lot of people with breathing problems cough very badly. I am one. I have never minded pipe or cigar smoke, so was always very annoyed that the airlines used to allow cigarettes but not those AND place the smokers near the air inlets rather than outlets. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Long term, a tall hedge is an option but if you must have a more immediate solution, try 6 foot high fence panels.

Why don't you try getting a life? Most likely Dave has already got a life and he is trying to hang on to it and his health by avoiding passive smoking. Presumably you are a cancerous vulgarious, otherwise you would appreciate just how abhorrent the putrid stench of second-hand tobacco smoke is to others. -- Interloper |

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? There are three ways of approaching this in order of preference I suggest a) speak to them nicely and lie and say that one of you is suffering from an allergy that MIGHT result in an anaphalactic (sp?) fit (with a small but significant risk of death) if she/he has one as a result of exposure to cigarette smoke and that you both suffer from sneezing and watering eyes when this happens. Could they please be kind enough to note the wind direction and not smoke in the garden when the wind is coming towards you and you are in the garden b) absent a cooperative response simply build a large fence 6' 6" high adorned on the far side with lots of no-smoking symbols subtly engraved or spayed in wood preservative so that they are dicernable but not TOO obvious and grow a dense hedge as well as suggested to take over above 6'6" in due course c) lastly, you have a right to peaceful enjoyment of your property and the intrusion of bonfire smoke cigarette smoke excessive noise vibrations or ANYTHING that causes a nuisance in law you can get an injunction to stop them doing. It might be that you can take air samples and provide the evidence to the EHO!!! That would be a first. Chris |
