Default cigarette smoke entering from condo below.....

Where do you get your information. I'm quite sure that my SUV emits
less than whatever you drive.

That sounds like a serious fire hazard doesn't it? If cigarette
smoke can
get through then so can smoke from a fire and, for that matter, the
flames
themselves...




In fact, small holes in walls and floors do act as fire accelerators
(they
are like the pinhole equivalent of a magnifying lens). They are
illegal in
many fire codes. If the wall is considered a firestop, it must be
sealed.
In a multi-storey building, all floors must be firestopped.

The OP may be able to get the condo corp to address this as a safety risk
if she can demonstrate that there are such holes.

Why is it condo builders can get away with such crap construction?

I can just imagine going to our condo board and complaining that my
condo is not airtight (no residence is). Folks who are that sensitive
to cigarette smoke have to run from their condos to their SUV's without
drawing a breath, because outdoor air just isn't that sweet, thanks to
your truck and SUV. We liberals can't afford them because we don't work
) SO2, CO, all kinds of good stuff that isn't produced by liberals.
Why is it all the people with such hunger for clean air don't rave about
SUV's, fireplaces, polluting industries???? Too busy stuffing quarter
pounders into their air holes? The pinko tree huggers, who like green
leaves more than asphault really have your welfare at heart, but .....
here I go again.

We have a friend who is a locksmith, hurting badly but will probably
stay in biz until he can retire. Hurting by the chain stores that have
taken his business. When Walmart and a few others succeed in a few
years in putting ALL of the small businesses out of business, and a
couple of wealthy oil producers buy them out, who are we going to be
working for?

Whilst all America sat listening to a bombastic drug addict rave about
Bill and Hill, their brains already rotting from listening to depraved
TV preachers and moralizing gamblers, their schools turning into vice
dens, their kids raised themselves. The gov't sniffed Bill's crotch
whilst Al Kaida sniffed theirs. Four passenger planes, off course for
almost half an hour and nobody noticed. We had more air controllers but
somebody fired them. We TALKED about a better system, but...there was
Bill's sex life to wonder about. Ronnie wanted star wars...lets get
with it! Lets buy star wars and watch the skies whilst Al Kaida stuffs
another 747 up our collective arse.
