It’s always best to smoke outdoors to avoid the smell of tobacco invading your home. Since there is, of course, much better ventilation in the great outdoors, then you are best off burning your sticks out there. However, you may occasionally want a cheeky inside smoke, when you do that it can stink the place out! We do, however, have some great tricks on how you can smoke your Havana cigars in your room without it stinking it all out. Keep reading to find out more.
Use an air purifier
The air purifier is the best and simplest solution to suck up all of the bad air and remove all of the harmful particles, bacteria, as well as bad smells. This then redistributes the good air through the vent. You could try and find a purifier that has either activated charcoal or a carbon filter. This filter is easily the most effective way for an air purifier to remove odours from the air of a room and make a great, noticeable difference.
Open the windows
As previously discussed, ventilation is key. If you have some windows open, you can have an area for the smoke to exit, so that it doesn’t linger in the room and settle on your belongings and into the walls. Once it does settle, it’s much harder to remove the particles.
Exhale out of the windows
As you smoke, try and exhale out of the window. This helps to get the smoke out of the room as quickly as possible, the longer it lingers, the longer it lasts.
Close the air vents
I know what you are thinking -’ Are you mad? We need ventilation!’ however, smoke that gets into the air vent can be easily sucked through your HVAC system, and travel to the many rooms in the house in a very short space of time. This is especially critical if you are trying to smoke in an interior room of the house. Parents, roommates, as well as spouses or children and quickly detect smoke that travels through the air vents and into adjacent rooms.
The majority of air vents have little metal levers, these slide forwards, and backwards, which opens and closes the vents. For added protection, you could even tape plastic bags or a piece of paper to the top of the vent.
If you block the vent, you can take it off after you are done smoking to return correct ventilation to space, and not confuse people when they see it.
Place wet towels by the bottom of closed doors
With blocked vents inside the room, The last line of defence against the smoke sneaking into the outside world is to protect the air gap that is present at the bottom of the door. Just like smoke can go through the vents, tobacco stench can also creep under the door thresholds.
We hope this is a handy guide! Remember, when in doubt – just head outside.
