Any chance you could convince your neighbor to smoke in the front of the house -- a small table and a camp chair works if he doesn't want to go the bistro table route? It really does help in stopping the smell getting into the house and stinking up his lanai.

Good luck!
LOL Redwitch....Don't think we didn't think of that!! In fact, I told my husband it might be cheaper to buy him a screen for his garage opening...than for us to do anything!!! He might do it on his own though because he has a west facing lanai and it will be VERY hot out there this summer. He hasn't spent a summer here so he has NO idea how hot it will be!! We purposely shopped until we found the house we wanted facing the way we wanted for this reason.
