neighbour's cigarette smell in our bedroom, 3 month old baby

Just need a moan. I know the only thing to do is to ask them to open their window, i'll have to try and speak to them tomorrow. Just thought tonight is a bad time, since they had the police round last night and the woman and the baby left with them, leaving the man alone. Tonighr they came back, lots of arguing. Probably very stressful so more smoking than usual.

Plus it's cold so I can understand why they haven't opened their window. I'm pissed off that my bedroom windows are wide open with the heating on high and the oil radiator by my baby's cot. He's next to the adjoining wall so has been breathing in all those horrible chemicals all night.

I should have gone round earlier shouldn't I. Feel like a shit parent now.

Hate this house. Hate my neighbours. Here for another 6 months. Hate it.

I can totally relate to what your going through! My neighbours smoke, and the smell comes up into my flat through my hall cupboard. My hallway smells of smoke, and I can smell it in my bedroom sometimes if I open my window. Hence, I usually close my windows.
The thing is you can't tell people what to do in their own homes. I've already checked with environmental health if there is anything I can do.
Sorry your going through this :(

OP how is the smell getting in your home?

We are in an old terrace house. There must be minute cracks between walls and floor. Sometimes I can smell their cooking too.

My neighbours chain smoke in their garden and we can't hang washing out to dry as the clothes stink of cigarettes if we do. Summer is especially bad as they smoke outside a lot.

Your poor baby, smokers are just gross.
