How about this city does something special for those who blow cigarette smoke in your face, or those who litter butts all over the sidewalks. Everyone puts up such a fuss over guns and other bull**** when more people die each year from cigarettes. Those butts don't decompose and are harmful to the planet.
How interesting, that the mass media launches a campaign several decades ago to remind people that cigarettes cause a load of health issues and that second hand smoke kills. Yet, the law refuses to see fit that we shove smokers into a coffin full of all their years worth of puffs. I'm sure they wouldn't mind. No? Well, i'm tired of it.
No one takes this **** seriously. I spoke to my landlord and my super several times about reminding the idiots who live above us to stop smoking cigarettes and whatever else inside, because it travels through our building and air ducts. I call the police because I'm sick and tired of paying $1000/mo to live in nasty ass Brooklyn where I share a building with seemingly trust fund babies and their round-the-clock drug habits. The police tells me they can't help me, I have to call 311.
I call 311, make a complaint and they provide me a confirmation number letting me know my case will be sent to the department of mental health, with no inside information on what actually happens after making this report.
IS IT REALLY ASKING TOO MUCH OF SOMEONE TO HAVE THEM SMOKE OUTSIDE?
What part of Brooklyn is this? I'm surprised the landlord hasn't seriously threatened them considering there's probably no shortage of other renters for their spots in the apartment.
It seems like your landlord is no help, if I were you l would look for another place were smoking is not allow. Second hand smoking
Is not good for your health good luck.
This somehow seems like an odd rant in a city that did an awful lot to crack down on smokers.
I believe people are entitled to smoke in their own home. However, when we once had a problem with someone who was such a heavy smoker that it seeped out into the hall, some of us banded together, wrote her a polite note, and suggested she open her window and buy some smokeless ashtrays.

Do you actually live in New York ?!
Or recently moved here. I have heard similar (and similarly ridiculous) rants from people in Colorado and Vermont. Why not go back ? New York is very little like either place.
