I am sorry dear but asthma rates have increased over 800 % in lock-step with the decrease of smoking in the population.
If you are so sensitive to particulate that cigarette smoke can effect you through a concrete wall then you are probably going to die anyway!
So since you are so sensitive to smoke - may I ask if you have taken the trouble to rent or buy a home in the thousands of apartment and condo buildings that are already smoke free
However, the researchers found that air quality improved as they moved away from the smoker. "These results show what common sense would suggest—when you're within a few feet downwind of a smoker, you get exposed," Ott explained. "But likewise, when you go a little distance or stay upwind, the exposure goes way down. If there's just one smoker, and you can sit six feet away, you would have little problem. At the same time, if there are a lot of smokers nearby, you may be exposed to very high levels of secondhand smoke. So this thing that critics have been dismissing as trivial is not."

Honey stop please - you are embarrasing yourself
Your window is 30 feet away from a smoker and its affecting your lungs
Even the most ardent anti-smoker scientists, using the most sensitive equipment, couldn't find an effect less than 6 feet away.

You have no way of knowing if the effect on your lungs was the smoker 30 feet away or an invisible cloud of pollen.
And I asked you a question: Do you require every condo and every apartment in the city to be smoke-free?
Tell me again why you can't sell your apartment and buy one in a smoke-free building. There are tons of them around

If you own your home, then no one should be able to dictate what you can or cannot do.
However, living in an apartment building, or being in a restaurant, or in a mall, I don't want to breath that stuff in. I don't want to smell it. I don't want any part of it. What you do to yourself, is your own business. But when what you do effects me and my health, then there's a problem.
