If you walked into my apartment you would think, wow, this girl is a chain smoker. I'm not, I don't smoke, but one of my neighbors does. I'm not sure how the smell seeps into my apartment, but the smell is the strongest in the kitchen.

I asked the manager here if anything could be done about it and she told me to get a scented air filter for the vent.

"Understanding Second-Hand Smoke

Some people argue that second-hand smoke isn t harmful, or suggest that smoking does much more harm to the smoker than to anyone else. However, research demonstrates that second-hand smoke actually has more tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide, ammonia, and cadmium than the smoke inhaled by smokers. Second-hand smoke also increases the risk of lung disease by 25% and the risk of heart disease by 10%. The estimate of deaths from diseases caused by second-hand smoke each year ranges from 30,000 to 70,000. Smoke unquestionably poses a serious threat to smokers and non-smokers alike.

Sometimes educating smokers about the negative effects their smoke can have on others is enough to change some behaviors many smokers consider that they re only harming themselves by smoking, and may be surprised to learn that second-hand smoke really can have dangerous effects. Second-hand smoke is not a concept that was invented to make smokers feel bad it s a serious detriment to health."
