THIRD STREET Willow Evans can’t even get a good night’s sleep in her own bed. Cigarette smoke from apartments all around her seeps into her bedroom, into her lungs and near- ly suffocates her, causing Evans to wake up gasping for air. “No matter what I do, the smoke still gets in,” Evans said.“It comes through the windows when they’re closed. It even comes up through the drain in the kitchen sink… I work at home so it affects me nearly all day long. It affects me emotionally too because I feel like I’m trapped in my own apartment.” Evans isn’t alone. Barbara Bronie also has issues with neighbors who smoke. The math teacher at Santa Monica College said she has to sleep in her living room because she is constantly struggling to breathe because of secondhand smoke drifting into her apartment. Bronie said the smoke also affects her ability to think and gives her stomach aches. “I have a chemical sensitivity,” Bronie said. “One doctor called it cerebral allergies. It affects my brain.
