"[H]e is the one who should make a change"
Why?
Why are your rights more important than those of your neighbor?
"I recently moved into my apartment - it was probably built in the 1930s and there are tons of cracks in the walls and windows."
Tons of cracks in the walls and windows, and still, you CHOSE to move in.
No-one forced you to.
You had every right to choose not to move into that apartment.
Now that you have, should everyone have to abandon their rights in favor of your comfort?
"I should be able to have my home be a smoke free environment of my choosing as well."
Next time, you should choose an apartment building that is smoke free.
And actually,YOUR home IS smoke free. The problem is that now you want your neighbor's house to be smoke free, too.
For as much as I see people complain that smokers are interfering with their lives here, it's amazing to me that non-smokers are completely blind and oblivious and completely uncaring about how their behavior affects others. And I'm equally amazed at just how childish and selfish they sound; "Everyone else should change, 'cause I want everything to be MY way!!!"
Pure solipsism at its finest...
