"Second-hand smoke is irritating. But how far would you go to get your neighbors&amp;#39; to quit blowing smoke your way? Wait until you read what this man did...\nPinterestFacebookA man in Los Angeles reportedly got so sick of people at his apartment complex smoking near the pool (it reportedly bothered his young daughter, who had a health condition) that he decided to do something to get noticed: spray the smoking sun-bathers with a water bottle.\nJohn Birke and his wife, Caryl, had lived at the apartment complex for 15 years. Their 11-year-old daughter, Melinda, reportedly suffers from asthma--a condition that is worsened by second-hand smoke.\nWhen his neighbors wouldn&amp;#39;t stop smoking, he said, &amp;quot;I went and got a water spray bottle and came back to make a point and stood behind them and started spraying water in the area. And I said, if that&amp;#39;s the way you enjoy the pool, this is the way I enjoy the pool.&amp;#39;&amp;quot;\nBut, the apartment management didn&amp;#39;t sympathize with his unusual anti-smoking campaign, and they&amp;#39;ve asked the couple, and their daughter, to leave their home.\nWhat do you think of Birke&amp;#39;s unusual motives?\nMore reading:\nShould smoking be illegal on college campuses?\nEven a little bit of smoke can damage your cells\nWhy a pal&amp;#39;s smoking habit can up your risk for breast cancer\nPhoto: istock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
