AIBU to ask my next door neighbours not to smoke indoors?

[BeansOnToast41]

Genuinely not sure what my own opinion is on this so intrigued to see what the consensus is. My house is an end-of-terrace and the next door neighbours smoke indoors (sometimes normal cigarettes, sometimes weed). I’ve no major issue with smokers, but because they’re doing it inside, the smell comes through to my living room. We’ve not mentioned it to the neighbours and haven’t decided if we will or not (to be fair it isn’t constant) but I’m wondering if it would even be acceptable to ask someone not to do something which they’re well within their rights to do in their own home.

Voting is:

IABU = no you can’t ask someone not to do something in their own home
IANBU = yes totally fine to say something because the smell is coming through the wall

This. I have never had any smells come through walls. Makes me wonder how solid modern houses are.

I've had this issue due to a one brick party wall. My situation was different as the neighbours at the time were also playing loud music into the early hours on weekdays and smoking weed, which came through to my bedroom and a cupboard converted into a wardrobe so my clothes would start to smell. It only ended after the smoker stopped being there as much. But they didn't care and they started bullying me.
It's only respectful to consider your neighbours - be it loud music or smoke.

the council can only take action if something is illegal, not inconsiderate. If you were allergic to peanuts and your neighbours had roasted peanuts every morning then I’m not sure the council could do anything. It’d be down to you to move home.

We have laws banning smoking in all pubs, restaurants, work vehicles and indoor businesses/working environments. However people are free to smoke in our own homes and any attempt to change the law to prevent that would hit many legal roadblocks and public pushback.
An English man's home is his castle after all

You do realise that the tax smokers pay on each pack of cigarettes (82% of the cost) more than covers the cost to the NHS of their care.
I wonder do you feel as much hatred towards drug addicts, alcoholics, the obese and anyone else who does something that will eventually kill themselves?
As for why you should pay to rectify a building flaw in your home that should be obvious, but if you don't know its because you bought a poorly built home that needs repairing as if your neighbour's home catches fire your home will have smoke and possibly fire damage as there's a flaw in your firewall

I still think it's worth having a conversation... Worked for me!

Well if the nuts were coming into my home then I’d be a bit miffed 😂😂😂😂

I can smell the petrol station, or the cake factory, depending upon which way the wind is blowing. I can also smell cooking, if I am in the backyard. Does that mean I have the right to ask people to not work, or not cook?

How incredibly entitled! If you called at my door at 3 in the morning you would be told to fuck off!
