If normal human activity (like smoking) is *that* offensive to you then it's up
to YOU to move. How irresponsible is was for you to buy a condo above a smoker
in the first place!

Smoking is abnormal. Why is it that those who find it objectionable
are expected to put up with it or move when they are in the majority?
I have always loved the sign, "I don't mind if you smoke if you don't
mind if I fart."

have caulked around all water pipes. There's no insulation between the
ceiling of the condo below and my hardwood floors which are covered with
wall-to-wall carpeting.
Crazy idea: Taking up the carpet and putting a layer of Tyvek under the
padding? What do you think?
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.........

Sorry I don't what to suggest here. Fortunately I live in a detached
home with very few smokers in the area, but am well aware of many
people with problems similar to yours.
