Wow, that's a terrible story.
Good thing you called the cops.
You might also have a legal issue with them if their smoker is
impacting your lifestyle. They really need to be made to understand
that they are part of a community and that it benefits them to be
friendly with their neighbors. Maybe you could extend them some kind
of olive branch in order to help them become more friendly. It doesn't
sound like they are going to make the first move, so it might benefit
you to make an attempt.
