I didn't have to deal with indoor pollution (smoking/drug use) for most of the day; don't know if that was because I was gone for half of the day, the fact that my cooler was off all day or if the people causing it is starting to get it through their heads that it's going to be made public every time they do it.  For the most part the majority of the day went without incident.

The night was a different matter.  I started smelling smoke in my home office again, went into the public hallway to see if I could find out where it was coming from.  As soon as I stepped out into the public hallway, I immediately got hit in the face with a pungent smell that was wrecking havok on my gag reflexes nearly causing me to vomit.  I spent no more than a minute in the public hallways, the stench literally making me retreat back to my own unit to get away from it & a few more minutes gagging on it trying not to have my head hung over the toilet from it.  I don't know if that toxicity came from somebody tracking it down the hallways, they're smoking in the hallways themselves or if that's pollution is just so bad in their own unit that it's coming out their own front door & going down the hallways, but it was easily one of the worst things I've smelled in my life!  I can't complain too much if it's just getting tracked in on their clothes after smoking inside, but for it to be that strong I don't expect that was the case & was probably some sort of retaliation to knowing their actions are going public every time they do it.

• Chest Pains
