Woman loses smoking case against realtor

BOSTON -- A landmark case about secondhand smoke between a woman and her realtor was thrown out of court.

A Suffolk County jury rejected Alyssa Burrage's claims that her realtor misled her into buying a $400,000 condominium in the South End.

Burrage said the realtor told her the smell of smoke would go away once she renovated the property.

But, the smell was actually coming from neighbors smoking a floor below.

The realtor said smoking never came up during the sale.
