Start today and breathe easier knowing your home is free of unpleasant cigarette smoke odors

This won't be enough to get rid of strong or old smells, but it may help get rid of less obvious odors

Today, that 3% gap has grown into a chasm: Menthol is the choice for 30% of white smokers and 85% of Black smokers

You can reduce it by: only smoking with the windows open washing the inside of your windshield after each cigarette avoiding leaving cigarette butts in your car washing car seats and carpets with a solution of bleach and water, hydrogen peroxide and water, or white vinegar and water, at least once a week hosing down rubber mats with detergent keeping open containers of charcoal in the car Thirdhand smoke from cigarettes leaves a strong smell in the air, which may be more apparent and distasteful to nonsmokers

This is especially common after cigarette smoking, fireplace use, cooking mishaps, wildfire smoke events, or fire damage

For more severe cases, utilizing an air purifier with a HEPA filter may be best
