Another continuation from the previous day, indoor smoking/drug use continues to be  a problem in Building E of the South 67 Condos.  As of yesterday, I attempted to use the Febreze Car Vent Clips again to make the pollution more tolerable, however that pollution could still  be smelled when it got particularly strong in room that had the clips or when walking into any room that didn't have a clip in it.  I was pretty well coughing all night, only getting maybe 2 hours of sleep because of it.  Going to have to get a few important things out of the way before I'll be able to go back to bed & catch up on sleep (if I can get to sleep with the constant pollution).  I don't remember the time, but sometime after 2 AM, I was getting pains in my lower chest every time I coughed, which normally it just effects the upper to mid chest, so seems I'm starting to get some new health issues from this problem...  This run of the pollution problem has been happening every day since 12/6/2015.

Health problems from indoor pollution today:

• Blurry Vision
• Chest Pains
• Coughing
• Dizziness
• Headaches
• Irritated Eyes
• Migraines
• Nausea
• Ringing Ear
• Seizures (Mild)
• Sore Throat
• Trouble Breathing

UPDATE:  Looks like trying to deal with the smell in my unit doesn't do a bit of good, since no matter what method I use, the bastard in E26 keeps getting the pollution levels so high that what I'm doing doesn't work.  Looks like it's time to go back to trying to get it stopped again & that means going back to methods I was using in the past.  I'm going to contact the Utah Tobacco Prevention & Control program, see if they know of any Health Inspectors that will deal with this kind of problem.  I might even give them the person's phone number that is causing the problem (doesn't do any good to call the Building Management) if he doesn't knock it off before I call them, which should be within the hour.

UPDATE:  After the last update, I noticed the pollution pretty well stopped cold, likely the mention of giving his phone number to the TP&C program.  Because I didn't smell it after that time, I decided not to call them for the time being, seeing as there was nothing to call on if it's not happening.  I might still do it if it gets bad again, however...

Regardless of whether the pollution had stopped or not, what had gotten in my lungs had taken it's toll & I ended up going to bed ill with a splitting migraine about 3:05 PM caused by not being able to stop coughing on it.  Before I did, I opened some windows to try & air out my unit a bit.  I did notice that I smelled what smelled like cigarette smoke in my bedroom, but it wasn't too strong & running the air purifier next to my head while I slept (like I've been doing for about a month now) seemed to help.

I was woken up by my father around 4 PM, he was letting me know that the bid we made on the house was accepted, all he needs to do is complete the paperwork & pay the amount of the bid.  This means I'll be moving soon, however there's a few factors here before that's going to be an option.  The first is that we need to wait for the person still living there to move out, after that my father needs to make some repairs.  If everything goes well, I expect to be out in maybe 2-3 months.

The other matter is whether the pollution fully stops or not before I move out.  When I went into the bathroom after I was woke up by my father's call (probably only totaling 3 hours of sleep today so far), I noticed that same smell before I went to bed.  My moving out soon also means the owner of E26 has a limited time to fully stop that pollution, otherwise everything that was previously hidden is going to be republished after this unit is sold.  This means at least 24 hours without the pollution & it needs to continue until the day I move out; no exceptions.

Of course I think selling the unit is what's going to pose the real obstacle, especially if that pollution is continuing.  Right now it's fairly mild, but still definitely noticeable & I would say still in a range that would cause mild health issues.  As long as it stays mild, I guess I don't have too much to say about it.  But that pollution is likely to prevent this unit from being sold after I move, as it has with E22 on a few occasions (that I know of) in the past.  This is exactly why I've given all information I have found on the person causing the problem online to my father, in case selling the unit poses a problem because of that pollution & he decides to take him to court over it.

So step by step, I should be out of here soon.  Won't have to deal with the pollution anymore after that, it's just a question of what happens up until that point & we'll play it from there as this story comes to a close.

UPDATE:  The pollution from E26 started becoming strong again around 8:07 PM, had to start using the collection of links again to try & deter it.  From now on I'm not going to remove it if it stops for only a few seconds; I need to make sure that it's actually going to stop, so that's going to be at least a minute, if not a few.

UPDATE:  Guess he don't really care about the page anymore, I guess I'll leave it up all night.  I'll make that call to the TP&C program tomorrow.
