Russians began to regularly sue neighbors who smoke in their apartments. In the past, we encountered such lawsuits about once a year, but now on average once a month.

In recent years, the courts have already developed an approach that allows recovery of moral damages for tobacco smoke from the neighbors in the amount of up to 20 thousand rubles.
