How to beat the cigarette smoke from other half of gf's duplex?

[Bossy Monkey]

She's moving in a couple of weeks, so it's not a long-term problem (at least I hope not; the place she's moving into is a duplex as well), but was so annoying last night she had to send me home. Does the Glade Plug-in with the fan actually work well? Any other constructive thoughts?

1. Lamp Bergere (sp?)

actually seem to work well, and I hate cig smoke.

PS-we have tried electric ashtrays (disaster) and quite a few other things.

3. Start smoking, then you won't smell it. :)

Totally kidding, just quit a month ago myself, though I never smoked in the house (except for the back room with the slider open). Not sure what to tell you, the Glade stuff makes my sinuses go nuts. Ozium spray maybe?

5. Is it the smell or the smoke?

The smell can be knocked back with Febreze. If it's the smoke try an air purifier.

I wish skunks didn't smell because I think they LOOK adorable.

10. Skunks are actually neat pets.

When I was a kid, we had a neighbor with a "pet" skunk (he kept it mostly because he loved seeing peoples reactions). He found the skunk when it was only a few weeks old...he'd stopped to move a freshly killed skunk body out of the road near his house when he heard the baby in the bushes. He took it to his brother, a vet, and they removed its musk glands.

Skunks are a lot like ferrets. They're highly intelligent, extremely playful, they get into EVERYTHING that isn't securely locked up, and they have a remarkable penchant for knocking over the most expensive item in whatever room their in. As long as you get one as a kitten, they don't bite, they can be paper and box trained, and they bond very well with their owners.

Unfortunately for our neighbor, California law bars skunks from being kept as pets. When his skunk got out one day someone called animal control and it was captured. They refused to return it and transferred it to DFG, who released it at a local wildlife refuge the following week.

7. HEPA filter would probably help.

Likely to do a better job than the Glade, too. With Glade, the smell stays, but it's got chemicalised mock-potpourri odour laid on top of it.

9. i found AtmosKlear at Target

might need an air purifier though, since it sounds like an ongoing nuisance.
