: I quit 3 years ago and 5 months. For the last
: half year, I have not been able to get away
: from second hand smoke.
: I live next door to it.
: I moved 3 times and I cannot get away from
: it.
: I did everything I was supposed to do.
: I tried sealing everything and I paid for it
: although I was renting the houses. I
: purchased expensive air purifiers, they
: don't work. I've tried talking to the
: smoking neighbor, that doesn't work.
: I tried moving around to different rooms to
: avoid the smoke but I can't avoid it when
: I'm sleeping-not even when I sleep
: downstairs on the couch.
: I asked landlords before moving in if there
: were smokers next door all three had said No
: but yes, the neighbors did. NOthing I can do
: about it. Landlords can't guarantee
: neighbors won't smoke.
: And as I said, I've moved. And moved. And
: moved.
: I can't move anymore. This has cost me a
: small fortune and I don't have the money
: anymore. I though if I rented a house in a
: more expensive neighborhood than things
: would be different. No, it's not different.
: Everyone here smokes. I didn't know that
: before I moved here. I can't afford anything
: more expensive and even if I could, I'm
: stuck in this lease for another 9 months.
: Every night I'm woken up 1am-3am-4am-5am...
: because both of my next door neighbors
: smoke.
: I walk around with sore lungs all day.
: I'm tired of insulating. It's not my house
: and I keep pouring all these monies into
: houses I'm renting and it doesn't help.
: I have no choice.
: The only thing that's going to help me is to
: start smoking again so the smell no longer
: bothers me and wakes me up. I can handle it
: during the day but not at night when I'm
: sleeping.
: I'm buying a sofabed today and I'm going to
: try sleeping downstairs in the living room
: again.
: If I'm still woken up. I'm going out and
: buying a pack of cigarettes tomorrow.
: I've done everything in my power not to
: start up again. EVERYTHING! It looks to me,
: God has plans for me to die of lung cancer
: because I tried to help myself but He was of
: no help to me whatsoever. Just blew smoke in
: my face.
: So be it. If my fate is to die of lung
: cancer, I can't argue with God.

Hi Sam,
No, I haven't gotten a pack of cigarettes. I've been doing some passive aggressive behaviors instead. It helps calm the anger. It's making the neighbors hate me but I don't care. Their cigarettes are making me sick and I can't stand them because of it.
Anyway, I hope you're doing okay. Have you started again?
Sorry I didn't write back sooner. I've been offline for awhile.
Take care.
