as that was us at the last place we lived with paper walls and a heavy smoking neighbor.
The smell was vile enough alone but coupled with the dizziness that ensued it made living there a hell.
It would wake us up at night, forcing us to throw open all our windows even in the middle of winter (Bay Area winter but still). And that only helped somewhat.
Our clothes and hair reeked of it to the point where our co-workers inquired when we had taken up smoking.
