    An apartment complex should have a landlord and/or resident manager. Talk with them about the problem. Use your lease to confirm in advance what the smoking policy is. Even if smoking is allowed on site somewhere, it's a nuisance when it enters your property and lungs. Some places can even recognize it as a form of trespassing.

    Mainly talk to the landlord. You also might try saying something to this nurse directly first. The person may simply not realize that their smoke is blowing around. You might suggest someplace else specific they can go to smoke.

    Some communities have laws about how far you have to be from a building to smoke. Or your apartment complex might have a rule. If not, either the owner or the residents could get together and make a rule. But you should try talking to the neighbor first and see if he's talk to the nurse about it.

    If he is outside, he is not breaking the law. You can ask him not to stand near the window when he smokes, or you can close the window.

    No. They are outside so if you don't want the smoke to come into your apartment, close the window.

    She is smoking outside, so not breaking the rules it seems.
