As a person who is extremely sensitive to cigarette smoke, I can
assure you that there was no doubt about it.  The two people that
lived next door to me somked 2 to 3 packs each per day.  You could
smell it coming out from under their door when you walked by, and
you could smell their car several stalls away.  They kept a west
window open all the time, which put positive pressure inside their
apartment, so the smoke oozed out of their unit anywhere it could.

I never bothered the apartment manager with small details that
I could easily take care of myself.
