  You are all ethical and smart people so I wonder 
if
  any of you might have some suggestions for a 
problem
  my husband and I are having with our downstairs
  neighbors.

  We live upstairs and have a porch and our glass 
door
  opens onto the porch and is the main way to get 
fresh
  air into our living room and kitchen.  In order 
to
  protect their little daughter's health, our 
neighbors
  downstairs smoke on their porch.  All their 
smoke
  blows straight up into our apartment where we 
either
  get to breath it or close the porch door.

  We have asked them to please let us know when 
they are
  about to smoke on the porch by just yelling up 
to us
  so we can close our door and then giving us a 
quick
  call when they are done so we can open it again.
  Or to smoke out at the front of the building. OR 
?????

  Last night our requests were greeted by "F*** 
you" and
  "you can't tell us what to do."

  Anyone have any suggestions for solutions?  Do 
we try
  to work this out ourselves or call the landlady? 
Is
  there legal action we can take?

  Any advise is cheerfully accepted.

  Alana
