Situations › Smoke and smell › Barbecue
Barbecue
Barbecues can become a problem when smoke or smells drift into neighbouring homes. In summer, when windows and doors are open or washing is hanging outside, this can be a real bother, especially if it happens regularly. Smoke can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath or headaches and makes it harder to keep fresh air in your home. A calm, carefully worded message lets you raise the problem with your neighbours respectfully.
