"Last night, he lit up again at 11 p.m., so I had to shut our bedroom windows." The mom noted that the smoke and smell also enter her kids' bedrooms. "I feel I need to say something because it is vile and bad for our health. But I also appreciate that it's his balcony and he can technically do what he wants on it," she admitted, before asking for advice on what to do.

Another user suggested, "Close your windows and pop in an air purifier." A third reader recommended they reach a compromise together, writing, "Why don't you ask him to text you when he's heading outside for a smoke.
