My First Passive-Aggressive Engrish Sign

This is posted on the door to the stairwell in my apartment building. Every day I come home and somebody (clearly the author of this) has it propped open, with the stairwell window open. I typically proceed to close the window, then the door, as it is currently WINTER, and while I am in California, it's a bit chilly at night and I don't feel like blasting the heat. The doors in our apartments aren't exactly hermetically sealed.

 

Here's a rough translation: 1) Do you like the cigarette smoke that fills this corridor? 2) If not, then please leave this door open. Thank you.

 

Here's what would have been more constructive: Please go outside to smoke, the smell wafts into our apartments. Thank you.
