2nd & 3rd Hand Smoke From Neighbors Has Caused My Family Of 6 To Develop Bronchitis
I need help you guys. I moved into a privately owned condo, my neighbors downstairs own their condo. They smoke cigars, black n molds and cigarettes inside their house with the doors and windows closed. We’ve been here since July and we’ve developed bronchitis at this point. We thought it was allergies but the allergy medication isn’t helping and our cough/chest pain gets triggered when the smell of smoke is present in my home.
I have verbally spoken to them as well as sent text massages with pamphlets explaining second and third hand smoke and the affects it has on non smokers lungs especially in infants. They keep smoking inside.
We have bronchitis even the baby, and the dr said we were in the verge of developing pneumonia. I don’t know what to do besides go to small claims court and file for nuisance and negligence. My medication copay is $200 for just 3 peoples medication…that’s not including a breathing machine and the other three kids medication my husband has missed work due to this.
I feel like I have a strong case against them, I’ve been to the urgent care three times just for myself in the past 9 weeks…I literally went a week ago..
I don’t know what to do I’ve never been in this situation I’ve never had this happen to me i am scared I’m genuinely freaking terrified for my kids. For my husband who already has asthma!! I’m scared for my families health even after we leave here…
I live in Tulsa Oklahoma. I rent from the owner and they own their unit. I don’t know if that helps.
