Genuinely not sure if this would be unreasonable. We've just moved into a big old traditional tenement flat. I've noticed that I can smell cigarette smoke in the sitting room. It seems to be seeping through the open press. I'm guessing that the neighbours must have a press on their side of the wall, and that the smoke can waft through, although weirdly we can't hear any noise at all.
Obviously I'm not happy about the smell, but I'm more worried about the health implications for my DCs, particularly my 7 week old DS. Am I being a it precious? I really don't know how strong second hand smoke has to be to effect children's health.
Should I contact the neighbour about it? I doubt I can persuade them to stop smoking in their own home, and I don't want to cause bad-feeling. Or perhaps I should ask our landlord to get it sealed better (although again, I don't want to be causing trouble for her...we've only just moved in, and we love the flat and want to stay here for as long as possible).
What's the best way to handle this?

Should I tell the neighbours that their cigarette smoke is seeping into our flat?
