So I have this elderly woman living in the apartment below me, she's old as fuck, like at least late 70s. Anyway, we're not supposed to smoke inside the apartments, but she does as she physically can't get up to go outside to do it. I'm scared she's going to fall asleep or even just die with a cigarette in her hand and start a fire. Not only this, but she smokes right at her window, which is directly below mine, so the smoke drifts into my apartment and messes with my asthma.
Should I talk to her about it, snitch on her to the landlord, or just suck it up so the old broad can live the rest of her life how she wants?

You're a very nice anon, but I would mention it to your landlord, or buy a high quality air filter and just keep your window closed during the day. Maybe try to switch apartments. If it affects your health you should put yourself first.

This. She didnt win some award making her master over your asthma just by beaing an old lady

Knock on her door, ask her politely; if she continues, rat her out to the landlord.

This, sensible and reasonable

honestly this is the best answer you're going to get. One strike and she's out
Also who becomes immobile at 70? Jesus Christ my family members are like 90 and still go out and play golf

smoking inside is fucking vile and if the apartment rules say not to do that then you should report her, because part of the cost of the apartment is due to these rules and their enforcement. they do exist for a reason. apartment fires are common in certain areas and smoking is a good way to start them
she can live her life how she wants, but if she wants to smoke inside then she shouldn't have signed an agreement that says she cant

no it's not because she'll know who ratted her out
terrible advice, because of that one oversight

So? What's she going to do, beat him up? Call the fucking cops? No, she's a brittle old lady who can't do shit. Hell be fine
>>18722405
So... she can't even get outside to smoke... what's she gonna do?
>>18721527
Just let her live her final days in peace
Maybe buy her or yourself an air purifier specifically made to handle smoke

Tell her your situation, and that you won't rat her out... for a price.
Then take out your huge young penis...
