hi guys just a quick question ...myself and my wife smoke 20 pack of cigarettes a day between us ...most of them are in our living room or when we are out and about and we have 1 or 2 in bed before we go to sleep , tonight at 10:30pm our neighbor has knocked the door complaining that our smoke is coming though our bedroom wall into there kids room is this possible?
 
no windows open at this time of night when it cold lol all tho we do have one them air vent things in the top corner of window wall, but there windows are always shut as well apparently it going through the wall or ceiling and back down through there ceiling :S work that one out

the girl next door is also a smokey and smokes on back door under their kids bedroom

No holes in walls as just wall papered , the ceiling has that crappy artex stuff on roof which is recently painted as well and didnt see any holes. Im confused by all means id never want to put any kiddies health in danger i just cant see how smake can travell through wallpaper and brick walls.
 
My housemate smokes and I can tell if he's done it inside for about a week. It's a very distinct smell to those who don't smoke. It colours the air of the whole house.

Just smoke outside.
 
I know smoking bad etc etc and if wasnt so cold in winter and windy like today id smoke outside like i do in our short summer......but my point is im all ways decorating cause wifes for ever changing her mind i use a lot of deodorizing sprays and jelly things you leave in windows as i have huskys and like to keep my house clean and smelling nice . i just want to know if it possible to travel through walls

I've experienced this myself, walls are not an impermeable barrier I'm afraid and vapor can travel through them.

id imagine itcan over a period of time but they have been there for about 4-5 months i only smoke a maximum of 2 a night in my bedroom and 1 in morning ...i cant see how it could leave a noticeable smoke mark or smell in there house ....i certainly dont get why they have left it till 10:30 tonight to tell me seem strange
 
Tell him to go @ himself! :mad:

Impossible as smoke rises, it dont go sideways or down it goes up. :rolleyes:

I hate the anti smoking lobby with all my heart!!! :mad::mad:

I chomped on the stuff as a kid, I remember cloud formations of smoke in my grandma`s? :cool:

Welcome to Cotton Wool Kingdom, everyone gets a chance in the uk! :o
 
In terrace houses the floor joists are often loose and mortar crumbles around them, that's the only conceivable air path to a neighbour.
If you can hear the sound of them talking then there is possibly a gap somewhere.

I bet his kids are smoking behind their dads back :)
 
im a fair person ...had a problem with them in past cause my dog had barked cause someone was in our back gardens ...if it is possible for it to happen like there saying i was thinking of redecorating bedrooms and swapping with my son but i dont feel i should have to do this as its my own home, very frustrating in one way i want to tell them to **** off and in another id never want to put there or any one kids health at risk
