This worries me
I have noticed several times when I am sitting on my back doorstep enjoying a smoke, that my neighbours back door will suddenly slam shut. I guess I am making their kitchen stink. They've never mentioned anything, mind.

I wonder how much the neighbour can smell when I'm enjoying one outside the back door.
I don't think they care though, even if they can smell it.

I haven't mentioned it to my neighbours, but it stinks and it is annoying.
It's a sensitive subject, because despite how chilled someone might be in their attitude towards it, it's illegal and people get uncomfortable discussing it.
I, and maybe yours and tangedupinblue's neighbours would rather you used common sense and courtesy and contained the stench in your own bleeding house.

given the layout of my garden and theirs and the locations of their doors/windows etc.
I highly doubt they can even get a whiff of it.

Your situation is somewhat different though. Not shutting the door is just plain rude.

Their front door is closed
but the living room door where they're smoking it must be open, hence it comes out into their hall and under their front door.

in that case
I reiterate that they must exist in a constant thick fug of smoke for it to seep out that much!

It really does smell like someone's upset a skunk.

They are growing it.
The end.

nah, the landlord lives downstairs and bursts in with the windowcleaners with only a few hours notice.
And they know this.

Stupid laws spoiling my fun
Smoking in the house is not an option as I've got a kid (plus it stinks).
I have started attempting common sense and courtesy by lurking at the bottom of the garden instead, but I'd prefer to be able to sit on the doorstep and listen to the radio at the same time.

Well tuuuufff titteh, get to the bottom of the garden.
The door slamming is the very british way of telling you they don't like it stinking up their kitchen.

Awwwwwwww don't want to *pouts*
They don't need to slam the door to show their Britishness - he has a rather fetching tattoo of a bulldog which takes up most of his back. Classy.

I bet his back is lovely, slender, and free of blemishes too

Haha no, I don't think so

Fuck 'em
If you can't smoke outside now, then civil liberties in this country have reached an all time low.

Hack their phone to find out what's bugging them.

tangledupinblue is now going to smoke at the bottom of the garden.
This issue has been resolved. /CAB
