Cigarette/Cannabis smoke coming through gaps under sink?

Cigarette/Cannabis smoke coming through gaps under sink?

We are currently renting in a very poorly built new build (two years old). Every evening, the smell of cigarette and cannabis smoke infiltrates all three of our bathrooms. We have informed property management but they are essentially useless. I believe the smell is coming from gaps in the wall under the sink (where the plumbing is) as the smell is concentrated under the sink/in the cupboard.

Would it be possible for me to seal this? Or is there a reason for the gaps? If it is ok for me to seal the gaps, would I use caulking? Thank you so much for your help. I have a toddler and a 1 month old and I hate that they are being exposed to second hand smoke.

Edit: we live in a townhome and believe our neighbours are smoking inside of their unit, which then seeps into ours.

STM - 13 day old son can’t seem to latch on soft breast. When my breasts are engorged and “hard” he latches like a champ. But when they’re softer, he gets very frustrated, won’t latch properly/stay latched and cries. I thought at first that maybe my breasts were empty, but I just hand pumped 1 oz out of each breasts after his feed - so there was still milk in there. I’m not sure what to do…he refuses to be bottle fed, so I have to breastfeed. It’s stressing me out because it can lead to hours of him not settling. Am I underproducing? I’m not sure what to do. I exclusively pumped with my first so this is my first breastfeeding experience.

He’s putting on weight well and is 4 day ahead of expected weight gain (according to my midwife).
