What is the best way to keep my house from smelling like cigarettes?

I used to smoke and quit a year ago. Since I have quit, I can't stand the smell of tobacco. It makes me want to smoke. I have a roommate who smokes around a pack of Camel filters every day. Does anyone know of any products that will eliminate the smoky smell? I have tried air fresheners and candles, and they don't seem to help. A friend told me she used to use a spray air freshener that worked really well. She doesn't remember the name of it, only that it had a very unique strong orange smell. Does anyone know what this product is? Thank you.

a physician im friends with said theres some odor eliminator called natures miracle, commonly used for pet odors... he said it has an enzyme that can break down the offending smells by altering the chemical compounds... dunno if it works on smoke at all...

when i searched for enzyme smoke eliminator i found a site that sells a product to car detailers...

Smoke And Odor Eliminator Enzime Spray 16 Oz

which might be a good start... maybe call a detail shop or even stop by a hotel in the area and see if you can find someone to tell you what products they use. just a thought.

peggyhill agrees: Thanks! I appreciate you looking that up! :)

there are a few things you could do, one is inscents seem to work really good at getting rid of the smell, they also sell these things called smoke eliminators, you can get em almost anywhere, i think ive even seen em at convenient stores, those are good for getting the smoke out of the air but not the greatest for getting rid of the sceant but they now sell air fresheners thats soul purpose is to get rid of the smell of tabacco, i bought one a while back and it acctually worked really good, i dont remember the name but pretty much anywhere they sell spray air fresheners you can find em, itll say "eliminates the smell of smoke" right on the bottle

Try peppermint oil and sweet orange oil in an oil burner. It's extremely effective.

One of the products that I swear by is called "orange chronic". It's used for marijuana odors, but can also be used for other strong odors; such as stale smoke.

One thing you might try is an ozone machine. Smoke molecules are smaller than oxygen and they penetrate the paint to where cleaners cannot get to. Ozone molecules can get to the smoke and get ride of it. The machine makes a pleasant smell like a thunder storm and thats because lightning produces ozone. These machines cost a pretty penny but if you find a good chemical supply store they might have one for rent.
