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?

[cyborg]

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

[Dog Gone]

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?

[jospehm20]

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.

The old busy body should move.

Suppose the guy's health really is affected by her smoking -- which is entirely likely.

No, it's not even remotely likely. The notion that the miniscule amount of cigarette smoke that drifts to a next-door condominimum, OUTDOORS, is a health risk, is ludicrous. They may smell it, but the ability to smell something most certainly does not equate with it being harmful. What if the smoker cooks on his backyard grill and uses a lot of garlic? You can smell that too. Outlaw garlic? We should all be ashamed of ourselves for letting idiots take over our nation.

MM, non-smoker

If you can't handle the risks associated with breathing, I suggest you stop.

Suppose the guy's health really is affected by her smoking -- which is entirely likely. What's your answer then?

I'd suggest he move. Alternatively, he can approach the owner of this adjacent unit, buy it, and evict this lady. He can then stipulate in his next rental contract that only nonsmokers can rent the property.

Simple enough.

[Dudoight]

There is supposedly a new study saying second-hand smoke has no deleterious effects on others. I heard it on Fox, have yet seen the study, so can't be more specific. I think the smell of smoke is abhorrent...but question those who are 'allergic' or other wise compromised by the presence in open air outdoors. I think the smell is just plain offensive, but the health thing may be a crock. Just speculating.

[saul goode]

If the guy's health is such that simple cigarette smoking by a resident of the adjoining apartment is a serious health risk, he shouldn't be living in an apartment/duplex. Some people have horrible allergy conditions and can't be around perfumes, detergents, etc. Do they have a right to move into an apartment complex and force their neighbors to stop wearing perfume or washing their clothes? It is not our right to have our whims catered to. I find smoking to be a disgusting habit, but I think that people who smoke should have the right to smoke on their own patio or in a bar if the owner allows smoking. Cigarettes are taxed to ridiculous extremes in order to penalize people for using a LEGAL product. There is no reason that this should be the case.

[KeepUSfree]

It is a legal activity. They have no right to dictate other people's lives. If it bothers them that much - they should move.

Suppose the guy's health really is affected by her car idling in her driveway?

I recommend suicide for the complainant. If I lived within 25 miles of there, I'd go over and enjoy a couple of nice cigars in the neighborhood.

"Suppose the guy's health really is affected by her smoking -- which is entirely likely. What's your answer then?"

......and the odds of that really being the case are.............?????

"Annoyance" does not equal "health risk" 'Bout damned time people learn this.

I have a neighbor who's a royal a-hole. I have yet to seek a restraining order preventing him from being an a-hole. He's an annoyance. He doesn't risk my health (although he has occasionally risked his own by annoying me.............).

Not picking on you, by the way. Just how I see it.

[Salgak]

So what ? She's enjoying her own PRIVATE PROPERTY. On which she may do as she sees fit, provided it breaks no laws. The "professor" seems to be the overly sensitive one here. . .

[Gorzaloon]

Suppose the guy's health really is affected by her smoking -

Obviously, it is raising the neighbor's blood pressure.

What's your answer then?

Compazine suppositories.

Now, if a neighbor were using a grille on the balcony, it can be shown that such cooking emits dibenzopyrenes and other carcinogens. So, in like manner, this menace also must be brought under control.

Suppose my health is really affected by your smoking posting? I visually see your postings, I know you're posting, and it drives my blood pressure up!

Go ahead, kill my wife's husband!

I'll see you in court, you inconsiderate, self-centered lout!

[Great Dane]

She is inside her home, and his health is compromised outside.............. give me a fr...ing break.

[lawdude]

"Suppose the guy's health really is affected by her smoking -- which is entirely likely. What's your answer then?"

Presuming she is engaged in a legal activity, tell the offendees to move the hell out of there!

That's my answer. If I am standing in the middle of the street and someone comes along, driving legally otherwise, and hits me, is it HIS FAULT?

He is the one that is putting himself in harms way.

How about that?

The next time some snooty liberal bozo wanders by with some disgusting perfume/cologne, I am going to hit her with a $200,000,000 law suit for offending my sense of smell.

Gawd, I hate whiners.

[Jeff Gordon]

Move.

He is the one with the problem. He needs to take responsibility for is own well being.

[Old Professer]

Suppose that when Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy shorted you as a kid it was because they have a deep dislike for seriously suspicious people; would that make you happier?

He should move.
