You may even hear laughter from another lanai when people are entertaining outside.... but most everyone tries to be considerate of their neighbors each and every day!

When driving your golf car through a tunnel, you may smell someone's residual gas fumes for a moment or two, or even a bit of cigar aroma once in a while, but you'll be moving in the open air, so this too will pass quickly.
If a smoking neighbor is a serious detriment, perhaps the option of enclosing your outdoor space would be a possible solution.... or adding an outdoor fan or two.

I once had a neighbor up north (very nice, gentle guy) who used a charcoal barbeque frequently. Not a problem in itself, but he was taught to light it using all of a half quart of Zippo lighter fluid every time. The way the wind typically traveled, his lighter fluid fumes filled my house if I didn't close the patio doors in time, and I am prone to intense migraines. It was something I wished he wouldn't do, but learned to adjust around his grill time. For me it was easier than getting my knickers in a twist daily. He wasn't doing it to annoy, he just wasn't the best grill master on the planet.
I suppose I could have "enlightened" him, but I have enough on my plate trying to improve my own self... it's not for me to direct anyone else. (she keeps reminding herself....!)
Anyway, hope you will find the most wonderful new home and truly live happily ever after. And, welcome to TOTV! :smiley:
