A homeowner in our [condominium association](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) is complaining of second hand smoke from the homeowner below. The complaint has asked the Board to ban all smoking inside units, or at least fine the smokers using the "nuisance" clause in our [bylaws](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/bid/12066/Making-amendments-to-condo-association-bylaws.aspx). At this point, the Board has maintained that the issue needs to be resolved between the two homeowners. Is this the best course of action?
