How to stop smoke from getting through front door?

Aug 28, 2003 3 Replies

I live in an apartment, and lately have been having problems with cigarette smoke coming in through my door from someone who sits on a chair in the breezeway one floor above me and smokes a lot. Is there any way I can improve the seal of my door to prevent the smoke from getting in? It may have to be a creative solution, since this is not my property, and I'm limited in the changes I can make.



Any ideas?

complain to the lanlord, or 12 guage shotgun or weatherstripping, or move.

If you don't use A/C, put a fan in the window on the opposite side of your door. I used to live in an apartment next to a city police office. He would smoke a joint everyday after work and my living room had *that* stinky odor.
