If this has been hashed around before I apologize. I could not find anything on it.
What are the commercially available air clearners/filters that have the ability to allow one to smoke indoors.
I have been using the open window with a fan method, and I looked at my heating bill today and yikes, that's enough of that.
Tobacco smoke being different from cigarette smoke with no stanky chemicals and no burnt paper, only tobacco and food grade additives, I expect a good HEPA rated filter for around $100 would make it just about impossible to detect if anyone has smoked in the room.
What do you folks use, what would you trust, and perhaps we can together come up with equipment to bring our brothers and sisters in from the cold.

You could also use an ozone generator occasionally to lessen the smell absorbed by fabrics.

IQAir Health Pro +
I've used these for years... incredible filtration system... w/huge charcoal filter. Expensive but worth it. I run two units for a 1500 sq. foot area.

My friend uses IQ Air Health Pro + and tells me “ what a difference “......he’s a doctor that smokes pipes and cigars. His wife stopped complaining 👍 But she will find something else to “ witch “ about!!! |

Respectf rebuttal - NOT all the same at all...
The IQAir solid charcoal gravel filter weighs at least 5lbs. and eliminates stench like no other. The rest of the IQAir unit is hospital-grade Hepa and industrial-grade induction fan motor. Service department is sterling, and I've use them for at least ten years 24/7/365 before maintenance or replacement of mechanical parts became necessary, and they did it for free... way passed the warranty period expired...

At 400 for a filter change they must have sold them to Howard Hughes and the one you have. Two Farr Panel filters and one CamSorb® CH Loose-Fill V-Cell Cartridge Filter.

Yes, the IQAir filters are expensive, but can last two years or more with regular vacuum cleaning. Of course, IQAir recommends replacement much more often ($$$ helps them to make lots more money), but it's not necessary. There does come a point after that when the benefit of the charcoal becomes exhausted, as also with the other two extremely effective filters. So, after all is said and done over such long period of time affording highly effective whole house filtration, NOT that expensive at all.

The type of material one chooses can also help (not solve the problem): like leather over cloth. |

I've seen good reviews about rabbit air... Brian Levine has the rabbit air unit and is very happy with it in his new home office, t is supplemented by an exhaust fan that takes smoke up to the attic. I think that if you really want an effective method of not stinking up the house, that is the approach to take. |
