He smokes non stop about 50 a day,and my lungs HURT if I walk out of my bedroom. Im staying in my room with the window OPEN all the time. How can I approach this subject, smokers are selfish idiots, who get so defenseless if you question their obsession with killing themselves and pulling everyone down with them.
And what can I do to stop this vile stench permeating my innocent nostrils and asphyxiating me? I am moving out when the lease is up as I also hate his guts.

Start out by asking him if he'd be willing to smoke outside- does you flat have a front or back porch where he could put a chair? If he's not agreeable to that, perhaps he'd at least agree to smoke less or near an open window. Say you didn't realize how badly your sinus condition/allergies/asthma would be affected by his smoking and perhaps he'll do the right thing and help you out.

First of all, did you know that he was a chain smoker before he became your roommate? If not, write this off as a learning experience. When advertising for a roommate, put the rules down: "Roommate needed. MUST be a non-smoker, comfortable with pets, no loud music, etc."

Maybe you're the problem; how did you not know this before you agreed to sign a lease??
