If you accept the premise that smoking smells gross and you don't want your place to smell like smoke, then there are only two logical conclusions you can reach about squiggs' neighbors. They are either oblivious to how their actions affect others or they just don't give a crap.

I'm sure they're idiots, I'm not going to deny that. They might be renting, so smoking is probably not allowed indoors. Perhaps even smoking in their backyard isn't allowed, I don't know. Either way, they have 2 options; smoke elsewhere or quit. Clearly they're not quitting, so they're smoking on public property. It sucks that Squiggs has to smell the smoke, but if it's that bad then close the window. It's not as if they're standing in front of his open window and blowing the smoke into his house. They have a right to smoke there. Throwing their butts is a different story. I may or may not have laughed at that last sentence.
