Here's my situation. I am 6 months pregnant right now. Late August of this year, me and my hubby moved into the only apartments we can afford. He is the only one that is able to work, so we don't make a lot of money. These apartments are old. They were built in the 50's and were originally motels. The landlord is an old man that is never around and almost impossible to get a hold of. He doesnt carry a cell phone. He is hardly ever home and hardly ever in his office. When we moved into our apartment, it was obvious that the previous tenant was a smoker. There was a faint smell of smoke everywhere. So, we deep cleaned the carpets and washed down the walls and did everything we could to get the smell out. We don't control our own heat. The neighbor next to us controls it. The HUGE problem with that, is that this neighbor smokes. I noticed smoke coming through our vents about a month and a half ago when it started to get colder outside, and since then, i have had throat and sinus problems that have just gotten worse.i've been really sick. I know it is because of the smoke coming through the vents. When we finally got a hold of the landlord, he talked to the neighbor and told him there is no smoking inside the apartments. The smoke stopped for a week and now it has come back worse than ever!! We've had to stay at a family's house (while they are on vaca for thanksgiving) because the smoke is so bad now. The guy must be chainsmoking. We cannot get a hold of the landlord either!! Does anyone have any suggestions?? I plan on calling our city hall. We also plan on moving. We will have to get help from family to afford another place though. But, in the meantime, what should we do?? I cannot stay there anymore, not even one more day. I really am fearing for the health of me and my baby!! This should not be allowed to happen..especially since these apartments are supposed to be nonsmoking. 24 hours::

If it's in your lease agreement that the property is non-smoking, then you are now free to terminate your lease without losing or owing any money. Speak with City Hall first thing monday morning.
In the meantime, if you have to stay there for a little while longer, have your husband speak with your neighbor. Have him tell the neighbor that the smoke is coming through the vents, giving you repeated upper respiratory infections & endangering the health of your unborn baby- so as a result you're going to have to move out of your home. Let him know you'll be out soon, but in the meantime you'd appreciate it if he'd smoke outside of his unit. If the neighbor still does not listen, it is in your best interest to stay with a friend or family. I would also call the police. I do believe this will be resolved once you report your landlord to the city on monday.
try to find a new place. for now get air cleaner
call your local police station and your better business bureau. the police station might be able to give you tips on how to go about stopping your neighbor form smoking in a non-smoking apt. and the better business bureau can help you report your landlord. in the meantime try and find another relative or friend that has a extra place for you to stay until its all sorted out
I would definitely move ASAP. Also do whatever you can to get in touch with the landlord. Maybe even have your hubby speak to the next door neighbor about maybe smoking outside just for a few weeks until you are able to move, as you are pregnant. Even bribe him with money or something. Second hand smoke can be very dangerous to the baby, along with you of course. And it can result in low birthweight of the baby and also stillbirth, miscarraige, vaginal bleeding and placential complications. Most of the latter complications come from smoking directly, but there is still a risk with second hand smoke. Good luck and move soon! Statistics::

You can always move, but you're always going to run into the same problem where ever you go.
For decades, people smoked around pregnant women. Pregnant women smoked themselves, and you know what happened? They had normal healthy babies. Then one day the lab rats came in, and said it was wrong, and paranoia hit hard, and now these people don't want anything to do with smoking. All because these lab rats who haven't seen daylight in years, opened their mouths.
There has to be some kind of job out there for you even if you have a major disability. You might not want to work but it definitely sounds like you need to. If this is all you can afford and need help with something else you are going to be struggling with a baby. Get a job even if it is a home or babysitting and get out of where you are
Have you tried to talk with the neighbor and explain you don't want to endanger your childs life?
When you said "MAJOR" health concern, I thought it was a life and death situation.
Glad you over-exaggerated the question =]
Anyway, if I were you I'd move.
There isn't much you can do (by calling the City Hall) .. it's not 'illegal' to smoke in your home if you have permission from your Landlord, and apparently this Landlord isn't enforcing the rules of not smoking in the home, so the city hall can't do anything.
Why can't you work? I'd get a job working from home if it meant I could move into a better place.
You don't want to risk your babies health after they're born, you should make arrangements to move now.
