The way our back deck is set up, it's right next to theirs so we're about 5-10 feet away if we want to sit outside. I don't do any kinds of drugs and hardly drink so even a little second hand smoke makes me feel weird, my 4 year old said he started feeling sick because he was outside playing while they were smoking (I didn't know they were out there smoking or I would have taken him in). And it's not the smell, it's the smoke. Again, I don't care about the smell it's what the smoke does. It's like onions, most people don't mind the smell of onions but if you force them to cut onions they'll have a reaction to it.
I know not everyone is like this but when it happens a couple of times, it really sucks. Most people are fairly respectful and aren't even bothered when you ask them to please not smoke near your kids.
