How to Remove the Smell of Smoke



If you have ever lived in an apartment you have possibly dealt with getting an apartment where someone had smoked or had a smoker next door who smokes inside or out.  The smell of smoke is a nasty smell. It can cause asthma and other breathing problems. What do you do? I have lived with people who smoke indoors and it was miserable. Especially when they do it all the time. I had a neighbor who chain smoked in her apartment didn't even open a window. I never brought Noah over there. I felt bad but I didn't want to say hey you can't smoke. It also drove me crazy when people would light up at the pool when Noah was there. There are people that smoke right outside the gate of his school. Smoking around kids is really annoying.  I think that if someone smokes they should do it outside. The smell of smoke is hard to remove from your home or from your clothes.

Even if you don't smoke and live with an indoor smoker you stink. Sure you can light an odor eating candle or spray an air spray but it really doesn't get rid of the smell. It just masks it for a while. You are still smelling it and breathing in the toxins. You can buy an air purifier. There are many different types of air purifiers. How do you know which is the best one to get for smoke? I would make sure it says that it is specifically for smoke odors. I would definitely research the best air purifiers for smoke. It would be awful to buy one and not have it help you.  It can be a pain to get rid of the smell and smoke in your home. If you smoke in your home, you can start smoking outside. If you smoke outside, you will probably smoke less because you have to make an effort to go smoke. You won’t just light up. It is better not to constantly breathe smoke. If you continue to smoke inside an air purifier is a must have.

Healthy Family

Thankfully we are a pretty healthy family. I don’t really get too sick, I did have the flu like 5 times last year, but I think that was stress related.  That was the first time I had the flu in a few years, and I have never had a flu shot.  Noah is healthy as well.  Just so you know I banged my foot on my wooden head board so we both don’t wake up with the Mongolian bird flu in the morning.  I feel really lucky that we hardly ever get sick compared to some of my friends families, who it seems like every other week another family member is sick with something. I am not sure if it is luck or if we are just not around a bunch of people all the time. I work from home and Noah has never been in daycare so, that might play a big role in it. We are also avid hand washers and seem to have very healthy immune systems.

As I am writing this I am reminded of my Grandma Diana, who was a very cautious woman who would say things like mind this and mind that. She was one of those people who was overbearing and the type of person who would freak out about germs. I remember if I was sick or had been sick with anything I wouldn’t be able to be around my cousin Alex. Alex wasn’t medically fragile by any means, where I could totally understand, she was just really overbearing.  I don’t see myself being like that because soon Noah will be going to school and being around other children.  I would like to get an IQ Air purifier to use when there are germs present or maybe just to have all the time to clear out any odors from the cats or any pollutants that might enter my home through an open window or door.

Do you have an air purifier? What are some other tips to keeping your family safe from pollutants and germs in your home?
