I still live with my parents and they are against smoking inside. Apparently the smoke muses into furniture etc.. However, it is cold outside and I'm not comfortable smoking there. I have a Bionaire air purifier for my room, and was curious if it would help out a lot. If I smoke a cigar, say, two-or-three times a week inside, would there always be traces of cigar smoke even if I have the air purifier running?
Thanks. :smiley8:
Respect the rules of the house or you might get grounded :smiley36: :smiley36:

I agree with superman, don't cross your parents ...they may take away your humidor and ground you from it! :smiley36:
Ah man, it must be nice to live rent free....o0 (the cigars I could buy if I didn't have to pay rent...)

Oh it's nice. The only bills I have are my phone, car insurance and gasoline. Though I'll be making car payments starting next week. :smiley29:Quote:

If I were you, I'd just go outside. However, this is not the answer you want to hear. Hear is a little trick that works. Put fabric softener inside an empty toilet paper tube. When exhaling, instead of blowing smoke into the air, blow the smoke through the fabric softener sheets inside the tube. The fabric softener will absorb the stink of the smoke.
Stuff a towel under the door, put some dryer sheets in a tube and....
No wait...
That was in college.
Yeah, go outside.
I have to vote for sucking it up and going outside too. Once you pay for your own place you can do whatever the hell you want in it, but in the meantime follow the house rules.
Or, make a compromise. If it's too cold to smoke outside, ask Pop if you can put a lawn chair in the garage or go out to the woodshed.
Better yet, pony up for a studio apartment and smoke 'til your heart is content.
Hefty
It is acceptable to my parents if the smoke smell doesn't linger permanently. There is an extra rec room in the basement, and I would keep my smoking limited to there and run my air purifier over-night. . . if it would work.
It is going to be negative twenty degrees celcius in a few weeks. That's a little cold for smoking outside I think. I will not go against my parents wishes, of course. That's not my intention.
dang that is cold. It was in the low 90s today here in Texas. But, a cold front is suppose to come in and drop the temperature to the low 80s or somewhere in that area. I don't think I'd be going outside in that cold of temperature, try the air purifier. I bet it still smells like cigar though in the morning.
What part of Texas are you in?
Yesh, over here in Fl, it's starting to think about 70's F (mid-20's C) so outside is still absolutly no problem, in fact it's more comfurtable now than it has been since late Feb.
If it was 20 deg. cel. outside I would be having a barbeque right now.
mmm.... barbeque... sounds likie a good idea, now that you mention it. :smiley20:
:smiley36:
If I can't bbq, I'm glad you can.
hp, I was checking your profile out of curiosity, and saw you play hockey. Just curious, who do you play for.
I agree that the no smoking inside rule can suck, both for home and college. It's no big deal in the summer, but it can get a bit cold in the winter (I'd imagine more so in Ontario.) I'm joining a cigar club at the school that goes to an indoor lounge, so that should be good. Try looking for local shops that have a lounge or cigar bar.
I guess i was just spoiled (if you wanna call it that) from growing up in Fl. We only get about 2-3 nights a year that get below freezing, and we have about 300 or so nights of "alright to be outside w/o jacket" nights. The only tradeoff is the whole hurricane thing. we probably get more nights of power-outages than nights of below freezing. :smiley24: Congrats on the whole school cigar club thing tho.

I definitely would not smoke in your room because you have been asked not to. There is nothing you can do to prevent the smell. Just nut it up and go outside.
