Neighbor's cigarette smoke coming in through AC
Hi. I have a floor AC, like the one with the tube that goes out the window. The tube goes out the window that is adjacent to the fire escape, I have a second window in the apartment but it is small and in a weird lil cubby corner so the AC doesn't work there. But the issue is people who live in the building smoke on the fire escape and it is coming into my apartment through my AC. I have tried talking to the landlord but this is lowkey like a slumlord situation but idrc because its cheap and they let me do a 6 month lease. But they said that they prohibit smoking on the premises and they will tell the other tenants to stop but I dont think the other tenants care or will stop.
But I really dont like the smell of cigarettes (especially whatever cheap stuff theyre smoking, I'd have less of an issue if it was American Spirits) and I dont want it sticking to my clothes. I have an air filter but I dont think its doing anything. I was wondering if there's anything I could do to keep the smoke from coming in? Or is it possible that my AC is like gonna explode so it smells like cigarettes? Idk. It smells ucky and if yall know how to fix it please help
