my two cents, my boyfriend smokes, i dont, and its not a big deal if you are have a ciggy or so at night on your own property. if the neighbors have a problem with it, talk to them about it. if they dont like it, they can close their window, unless it is excessive. People will go to the HOA because they dont want to confront you about it, bit if you confront them about it, they probably wont, because you can reassure them, you know your rights as an owner. Just always be kind and pleasant. "while i understand you do not care for my smoking, i do like to enjoy one or so every many after i get off of work on my patio. I am sure you can relate to wanting to destress, or enjoy the company of friends."

totally making one of these now!

id like to suggest going with the karlstad sofa from ikea, its midcentury-ish, and if your get the sivik covers, they will work great against cat claws

ive had my karlstad couch now for 3 years and the sivik dark gray cover works like a charm, their little nails go in come out and dont snag at all.... it kind of looks like demin, but overall has a nice modern look.
