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.

Other than not permitting smoking inside the house, there is little you can do. Everything else just masks the smells.

Any chance of installing an exhaust fan?

As febreeze is controversial whether it works or not.

It most probably has citronella in it . Try burning incense or u could also have those small oil containers under which u place a small candle. They are really amazing and u can use natural oils this way u wont be hurting ur health with artificial scents which have been proven to also cause cancer lol

do you live in a house or an apartment. If you live in a house you can buy air fresheners that you put right on your filter that goes in the furnace. Everytime the heat or a/c kick on it fills the house with the fragrance.

Well, we're renting, so I don't think the owner would let me put a fan in. Maybe I can get him to smoke in his room only. I just hate it because he smokes in my living room, and has made my new furniture reek. I can't kick him out, so I guess I'll just have to try to compromise. Febreeze helps for about 5 min. and then I can't smell it anymore. If I can get him to agree to only smoke in his room, then I'm going to get the carpets shampooed to try and get the smell out.

Oil burners are a good idea. I have one somewhere; I'll have to give it a try. Putting an air freshner on the furnace filter is a good idea, too. Thanks.

Ozium has claimed to remove smoke as well as other airborne particals. I've never tried it to remove smoke, but their label states their claim.
