Stopping Smokers Outside Your Apartment

Is the atmosphere of your apartment being ruined by a smoker lurking outside your door?  We had the problem.  We wondered why the air was so stale in our apartment.  As it turns out we had a pesky smoker hanging out in our breezeway smoking like a chimney and leaning up against our apartments exterior wall.  The smoke was coming right in!  Nauseating!  But, we got a solution:  Vaseline, Spit, and Confrontation.  A little dab on the wall where a smoker might lean.  A little dab on the railing where he might run his hand.  We asked him to move and then made the environment outside our door uninviting.  It worked.
