Smoking on the balcony always causes quarrels among neighbors. In principle, there is no general ban on smoking on balconies or terraces in Germany.
Landlords are allowed to prohibit smoking in their home. Non-smokers have a right to use their balcony without odor nuisance. Smokers, on the other hand, have aRight to live their lives the way they want. The cigarette on the balconies of this country is part of it. As a compromise, the BGH judges considered a temporary smoking ban to be feasible for both sides.
