I think he has emphysema or something. I really don't care what anyone does with their body but it is affecting me. I live in an apartment complex and he lives in the next building over. He always hangs out outside very early in the morning in the space between his building and mine, sometimes as early as 6 am and talks on Skype with his relatives in Europe.
I don't mind the talking because I can close my window and put on earplugs because of the time difference and all that. It's when he starts having a coughing fit is when it really bothers me. He coughs like he has an elephant stuck in his throat and lungs. It's more disturbing than annoying to be honest. Like he sounds he would just keel over during one of his coughing fit. He also still smokes because whenever I look over while he is talking outside, he has a cigarette in his hand, and he seem to smoke a lot. At least two to three cigs a day.
I understand that city living will have quirks like this but what else can I do? Would it be weird to tell him to maybe stop smoking and do something about his cough? For the sake of his health, at the very least but we aren't even that close.
edit: oops, my bad. Please move to OT.
2-3 cigs a day is a lot? I know people that smoke nearly 2 packs a day and cough their ass off. Unfortunately, if you do not know him that well, it would be extremely odd to tell him that. Living in apartments suck. I hate hearing noise from my neighbors. I want to be isolated lol.
