neighbour's cigarette smoke polluting my environment
12 Answers
My disgusting chain-smoking neighbour sits on his porch and smokes constantly. The smoke wafts gently over to my house which is approximately 100 feet away. The 30 foot high cedar hedge between us does nothing to stop the smoke. The neighbour sits on his ground floor balcony. The smoke comes in my main floor windows which are about 4 feet higher than his balcony. I need fresh air. I was thinking some kind of fan to suck the smoke away from my windows. Where should I place the fan and at what height. My property line is about 20 feet from my windows. Please help if you can. Thank you.

You might have a bit better results drawing air in from the opposite side of your house thereby using your house as a baffle and allow the air drawn in to exhaust in the direction of the offending smoke. Not sure this will be an effective solution but feel free to give it a try? The 'freshest' air you can find to pump in the better your results should be.
