How Can Harmful Effects Of Passive Smoking Be Prevented?

recently my block has new residents that are heavy smokers and they all smoke in the street not in their homes. I can not sit in my living room, on my front stoop or even in the backyard without being overwhelmed with smoke. is there some kind of mask that would help? I m living on my block for my entire life and never had this issue.
