Its also a nightmare when you rent. Luckily I see more rental properties banning smoking, but they are still in the minority. Its not just smoke wafting in from neighbors, but also the third hand smoke deposited in the unit you may be exposed to by previous smokers. For example, its almost impossible to remove the third hand smoke from ventilation systems that use flexible duct tubing because they tear. The cost of a total clean-up is so high, I bet nobody actually does it correctly. Since there is no transparency in this matter, as a consumer you can't make an educated decision on the unit you area about to rent.
