One word - MOVE

There is nothing much you can do about this. I have been through this before.

Please explore this website :

Check your rental/lease agreement if there is any restriction on smoking for either tenants.

The decision should not be very difficult - between kids health and convienence +costs. You are the better judge than other CDs.

Feel sorry for your kids.
