Does Anyone Know What I Can Do About Neighbours Shisha Pipe Smoke

[Treacle71]

I live in a small terraced two up two down property and about 3 years ago new tenants moved in next door. Every night, in the warmer weather, they smoke shisha and the smoke gets into my home. I can no longer open windows in the summer and I am also asthmatic. They have a visitor staying there now and she starts at 8am smoking this stuff right up until 11pm most evenings. I'm scared to start anything with them as I have no support. Any ideas please what I do?

roadman, I also said my neighbour has this problem so she slams her window shut.

Write them a letter and put this in it.
Studies of tobacco-based shisha and “herbal” shisha show that smoke from both preparations contains carbon monoxide and other toxic agents known to increase the risks for smoking-related cancers, heart disease, and lung disease.

Good grief! That’ll help maintain a good relationship with the neighbours, barsel!

in my experience the rabs respect nothing but force.

"the rabs"...?? I can only assume that's one of your insults for a ethnic, religious, or political group you have issues with. Why is everything reduced to this by you??
I don't get it.

Naomi, I was thinking about secondary smoke that Treacle may be inhaling and if that was me, I'd try anything to stop them from doing it.
Asking them to another part of the garden seems doable.

You could consider contacting your local council and ask that a Community Protection Notice may be considered. A warning by them is given, at first ,if deemed appropriate. If the offenders refuse to comply then a CPN will follow resulting in a fine.

came in 2014

give it a whirl

I hev to say having worked in Egypt - that they were never that smelly. Sort of Persian tobacco laced with sugar/treacle/syrup, putting it on a few cubes of charcoal
Rips the lungs apart of any European.

Reading previous posts it seems Treacle always manages to get upset by someone else's actions - maybe try being a little more accepting of others and minding one's own business.

We have same problem. Awful people below us.  Shisha coming into our flat and making me physically sick.  Breaking out in hives. The kid is only 12 or 13 years old but its mother lets it smoke it.  I've reported them to ASB but they did nothing. I've reported the brat because it doesn't go to school either. Telling you to just shut your windows is BS. How can you live with the windows shut?  I hate these people with a passion. I was a good neighbour to them.  We were flooded by flat above us and had a nuisance neighbor bothering everyone. I helped solve both problems for this disgusting low class family. I tried going downstairs and speaking to them. The mother opens the door and immediately started yelling abuse.

No idea what to do. I'm begging my partner to move us and request that the council move us. It is insufferable. 

I used to smoke and now vape. I don't even mind people smoking in our flat.  This shisha is something else. It is disgusting beyond belief!!!!  

To say I hate these horrible dirty low life scum bags would be an understatement.  What can be done? No idea.  

To all the people who just brush this off you have no idea the misery caused by people like this.  They are the worst scum.  Do what you like in your own home I really don't care....but when it destroys your rights you can shove it!

I'm all used up. I'm full of hate for them.  I don't condone bigotry/racism and I was anti-brexit and still am...but this is the stuff that drives people to the far right....I now get it!  

I didn't sign up to live in the *** middle east with people who don't give a *** about being good neighbors.  

I wish I could tell you what to do....I can't.  The hatred is eating me alive.....We don't have a home anymore! We have to live with everything shut.  This is no life!

If you found a solution please let me know.
