Zangrando said his neighbor's cigarette smoking is apparent whenever he opens a window or steps outside his home. He said the fumes compromise his health, causing him to wheeze and cough. How does he know it is not the fumes from Akron, OH?!?!

This is what happens when busybodies get a foot in the door of public policy. The smoking Nazis rule, and the fat police must be stopped!

This stuff is getting out of control Yes, it is. Smokers seem to have this insane need to assert that it is their right to bother other people with their fumes. And in this particular case, the smoker seems to think that her right to smoke is more important that the (apparently real) harm it causes the neighbor.
Sorry, I just can't work up any sympathy for a group of folks who insists on doing stupid things to their own bodies, and in so doing makes things unpleasant for the rest of us, too.

"It hits you right away, the minute you walk out the door. It catches me, I start coughing, I know she's smoking, I can see she's smoking visually, and I can get the effects of the smoke when I inhale what should be fresh air in my own back patio,'' Zangrando told the judge."This is beyond anal retentive super senstive Leftist whining. Zangrado is a control freak, and out of control.

The anti-smoking Nazis will stop at nothing--I'm surprised they haven't complained about the neighbor smoking within her own home.
The old saying ...be careful of what you wish... for could also apply--are these strident anti-smokers willing to pay the higher taxes needed to make up for all the tobacco taxes currently collected when smoking is essentially banned?

ridiculous people with too much time on their hands clogging up the court with this CRAP Suppose the guy's health really is affected by her smoking -- which is entirely likely. What's your answer then?

I grew up in NE Ohio, and I was thinking that to.
Funny how folks bitch about smokers yet drive SUVs and dont sue Goodyear for the tire factory.

And I have no sympathy for an anal retentive busybody like you who bleeds for someone complaining about it outdoors.

Where is this person supposed to smoke? How much smoking can this guy be doing to be choking on it from outside?

Suppose her health is affected by his cologne. Does she have the right to get an injunction against him?
Where does this end? How far do your property rights extend beyond your property?

And some people fear the Patriot Act. Can it get much worse than this example of infringement on ones rights in and around their own home?

Zangrado Should prbably go inside and turn on the hepa filter and ionizer, rather than expect the world to conform to his "condition"

This is why people buy real houses with big yards. The guy has a solution - move.

She should counter-sue this freak for invasion of privacy and harassment.

Suppose it is not and the guy is just a jerk. I think that is a more likey supposition than somebody's health being affected by somebody else smoking outdoors.

And I have no sympathy for an anal retentive busybody like you who bleeds for someone complaining about it outdoors. LOL! The lady stinks, and her stink gets into his house, and it appears to have an actual effect on his breathing.
Smoking is smelly and stupid. I see no reason to be solicitous of a lady who won't even respect her neighbor's health.
But it sure is fun watching you folks foam at the mouth defending something smelly and stupid.
