Apartment smells like smoke

Post date: 2020-10-20 11:02:43

My new neighbors smoke inside constantly. What can I do to make the smell in my apartment less strong?

I live above them. They smoke cigarettes and pot all day, every day. I bought a $300 air purifier that isn't making the smell go away (the top choice recommended on the wirecutter). I left a friendly note on their door asking them to please smoke outside. I left my phone number in case they wanted to get in touch. They did not. They continue to smoke indoors. They have also had several large parties, and I've never seen any of them wearing masks. I'm very vulnerable, so I am not inclined to knock on their door try to have a face-to-face discussion with them. The only time we have had an in person discussion they were very annoyed with me for wearing a mask and kept telling me to take it off, so I really don't want to interact with them face to face about this. In this discussion she yelled and me and called me rude several times (it is a long story, but I promise you that I was not being rude and I was actually just frightened because she woke me up in the middle of the night and scared me by ringing on my doorbell repeatedly). They are all adults, as am I. We live in a nice community and I never had trouble with my neighbors until they moved in a few months ago.

I'm completely housebound and completely isolated thanks to the pandemic, and this is making my already shitty life so much worse. We don't have the same landlord. What can I do to control the smell in my own home? I cannot live like this. The smell is so bad that it's keeping me up at night. I refuse to call the police about this (marijuana is illegal in my state, but I'm not calling the cops over this).
