I need to reduce the smell of smoke in my apartment.?

Question

I live in an apartment on the 2nd floor of a house. The people who live below me are smokers and when the heat is turned on, the smoke smell comes right into my apartment, in every single room where there is a vent. Short of asking them not to smoke (it's their place they can do what they want) is there any product anyone knows of (i.e, a filter of some sort) I could put into the vents to reduce the smell of smoke? Thanks to anyone who might be able to help.

Answer 1

Try buying one or two of the air fresheners that spray automatically. You can buy them at wal-mart for about ten dollars. You can set it to spray every 9, 18, or 36 minutes. Also try buying some oust air freshener. I used both of these to get rid of cigarette smoke in one room of our house. It took a few days, but then the smell totally disappeared. I don't know of any vent fresheners, but I agree with the comment of changing the filter, and the dryer sheet just might work:) Good luck!!

Answer 2

If you like the smell, how about a drier sheet. If not take a used drier sheet, wash it and put watever fragrance you like on it.
Also change the filter on the furnace.

Answer 3

Have you thought of moving to a more healthy flat.You might meet some cool nonsmoking friends .
