My daughter has recently moved into a 1930s semi and, after a few

that it's coming from next door.
Obvious possibilities a
through the window - unlikely?
through blocked up flue;
through hidden air vent
?

Other possibilities to investigate or suggestions for treatment would
be appreciated as the bedroom in question is granddaughters (12
months) and she has been sleeping badly recently (?connection?) and
I'd like to help get it sorted pdq.

The house might have caught fire at sometime before she bought it, and the
walls might have just been painted over?

Don't think so. The smell wasn't there a few weeks ago but has been quite
clear for the last few mornings - and daughter reckons it is tobacco.
There are no signs of there having been a fire.
