Check with the State Health Dept. if they have any regs or guidance on
this issue.

If you have forced air heating/cooling, you may be sharing the
ventilation with the lowlife tobacco-sucking addicts, hence the
noxious toxic smoke entering your apartment. If so, you could fight
back by injecting strong odors into the same system until the tobacco
addicts get a clue. In the past I've used concentrated essential oils
for such endeavors, such as Oil of Menthol, Peppermint, etc. Just a
few DROPS will fill the system with a strong pleasant scent.

For fun, you could dump an entire capful down the intake
as you leave the apartment every day, then sit outside and listen to
the maggots choking and complaining about the smell, even making their
eyes water. LOL!

You could contact a lawyer about filing a lawsuit. Some jurisdictions
have statutes that prevent others from interfering with your
"peaceable enjoyment" of your property, even if the actions of the other party
are
otherwise legal.

Good one!

You could try Ethyl-mercaptin (just kidding) or maybe essence of beer-fart.

Actually dumb as a rock.. Smoking in a building that is not smoke free
is still legal in America. Also if there is shared air..Which is illegal
in new buildings but acceptable in older buildings by the edict of local
building authority. Well that alone should give you something to think
about. Consider your self lucky the person doesn't have intensely bad BO
and lives on a diet of constantly boiling cabbage. As for fighting back
by adding noxious odors to the system can get you a 3 day health
department sponsored eviction. I would suggest that you utilize an air
purifier while you look for a new smoke free building. If your under
lease.. Cut a deal with the Landlord by finding him/her a new renter
that is acceptable and is not antismoking. If you live in an Urban
area..you have more to fear from Car exhaust then from tobacco smoke.
Neither are good for you, but city air as a whole is full of nasty
stuff. You have read about the stuff that gets on your toothbrush just
for being in the same area that folks have their fecal emissions in?

However, smoking where human beings are breathing is inconsiderate behavior.
Keep on being inconsiderate, and we will keep on passing laws. And
enforcing them.

I feel the same way about wood-burning fireplaces. What a stink!
