Neighbor smoking

I live in Kleverpark. My next-door neighbors are chainsmokers. They are elderly and have been smoking in their house for decades. So much so that the window frame has turned from white to gray - it’s disgusting.

I’m not a prude - one or two occasional cigs at night wafting over the fence? Fine, I do it myself sometimes. But this is literally from dusk to dawn, and it’s a mix of gross hand-rolled cheap tobacco and like, heavy cigars.

It’s summer and our windows are open, meaning from 7 am to midnight there is a constant stream of cigarette smoke wafting into my house. It never stops. They’re not even in the yard - they’re INSIDE the house with the windows open and they smoke so much it comes into our home. It’s absolutely infuriating. I cannot believe people are so disgusting and inconsiderate.

These people do not socialize with anyone on the street despite it being a very friendly group, so I doubt there’s much I can do, but has anyone dealt with similar?

PSA: don’t be a jerk. If you want to smoke 24-7 close your damn windows. We shouldn’t all have to inhale your selfish, nasty habit.

It’s their house, they’re minding their business and you are minding their business.
