    i live in an apt complex where we have a big deck that goes around the building every one hangs out on. I normally smoke out side my apt on that. no one has complained yet.

    I live in an apartment with a patio adjacent to a sidewalk that leads to a busy fitness center. None of my neighbors have complained but I hear people coughing when they walk by as I smoke. I am sure these people are customers of the fitness center. I can't blame them. I myself hate it when I inhale smoke blown back into my face. I do not want to be rude, though, so I try and time my puffs that way I don't engulf anyone in a cloud of smoke. I think I will smoke mostly late at night when there's no foot traffic.

    I live around old geezers. The broad to my left loudly shuts her windows about 3 minutes after I light up and my neighbor Ralph always says " I smell you Vinny" to which I've run out of creative responses to so o jut ignore him. But the woman with the windows is kind of amusing, turned it into a game. She's a beeyatch anyway..... Annoying ass dog too

    My girlfriend's place has an awesome deck for smoking. One time, when I was indulging, her neighbor in a townhouse next door came out on her balcony and asked if I could blow the smoke another way because she had her windows open and it was getting in. I told her that I'll try but I can't control which way the wind blows. Idiot thought I was a fcking wizard or something that could control the weather.

    I have my own house so I don't really have any issues with neighbors, per se. When smoking in public I do try to be considerate of others. Yes, if it isn't illegal and against the rules, I can do it. But you also are much more likely to have a positive outcome if you try to be considerate of others.

    I've never had any issues. My patio is at the back of the complex and faces a wall to an open hillside. My neighbors are never outside or really at home that much. If they were I'd still try to be considerate but as mentioned I can't control the wind.

    NO issues I'm polite in public and respectfull to others that don't smoke as it wasn't that long ago that I didn't.

    One recommendation for you fellas. I suggest that you go outside and smoke naked. Then your neighbors will complain about that an you kindly oblige and put cloths on. Then if they complain about the smoke again, just tell them it's the cloths or the cigar and they can only pick one.

    My nearest neighbor is 300' away. I doubt they would even notice.

    Ive actually made friends smoking outside my place. A couple guys have come over seeing me enjoy my cigar and libation, and started up a conversation. A few times it lead to some new smoking buddies.

    I live in an apartment with a patio, with a patio directly above and two patios across a sidewalk. The neighbors across the sidewalk smoke cigarettes, so they won't complain, and I haven't heard a peep from any of the other neighbors. I don't know a single one of my neighbors, and as far as that's gone with complaints, I guess that's ok.

    I haven't had any of my neighbors complain...my house is about 2000' from my nearest neighbor, so if they did complain I would charge them with tresspassing. ;-)

    lol, funny. I have a neighbor that is about 2 houses behind me and their freaking dog barks all f'ing day. It's so annoying. I've gone over there before and told them that they need to do something about it and they just said, sure, okay. Haven't yet. It's a freaking yappie small *** dog. Which I really hate as they are ugly and just freaking noisy. Whenever I walk my dog I pass their house and peg the Fer with my airsoft pistol. Yeah it's not a good thing to do but hell, the damn thing needs to be put down. I have a next door neighbor who has called the cops but they don't do ***. It sucks.

    I have no problem with being considerate to others but I absolutely will not be courteous to a cigarette smoker that bitches about my smoke, when theirs is much more toxic.
