If you a smoker, you must be smoking on your patio pretty regularly, not just "a ciggy on at night or over some wine when friends come visit". As a former smoker of 10+ years that has been smoke free for 8 weeks (yay!), I can identify with both sides; yours and your neighbor's. However, as a new non-smoker, I would be upset having to smell someone else's cigarette smoke constantly in my home. It's not only inconsiderate but it's hazardous to your neighbor's health. Walk down the street and smoke or smoke in your own home. Don't subject the neighbors to constant cigarette smoke. If I were a neighbor, I wouldn't be happy, especially if I were pregnant or had children. It's so nice when your home smells fresh and clean and nasty when it smells like ciggies. Sure you have the right to smoke on your own patio as much as you want, but should you?
