Hi
Why not burn one of those scented candles instead of trying to
hermetically seal a room?

They are even more revolting thatn cigarette smoke.


Or maybe just open a window, or learn to live with it -there are much
greater sources of pollution to deal with :-)

Very few.

There's no reason to "live with" cigarette smoke at all.

Multiple occupancy and attached dwellings should be treated as public
buildings for the purpose of smoking legislation.


If you can detect it in your house next door to the evil smoking house
then I would be worried about the build quality and move straight away
before the house falls down about your ears.

The pernicious fumes penetrate even well made structures.


Start a campaign that HIPS should contain a regulation that any smell
of cigarette smoke from an adjacent property has to be declared, then
you have the choice whether to buy or not.

I would agree with you other than I don't like government involvement
in personal business transactions and especially not HIPs.
