Smoking Inside The House
So I have basically been a life-long renter. With the purchase of my first house rapidly approaching I have been wondering about smoking inside on occasion. Living in Florida I don't really have to deal with the winter but sitting outside to smoke in the middle of the summer with the 1000% humidity is not that enjoyable. I'm outside right now enjoying one and am sweating just sitting here typing lol.
So I thought about using my future office also as an occasional smoking lounge for myself and guests. The room has sliders that open into the lanai (screened-in porch to you non-floridians) so I could have the door partially open to allow some ventilation.
Who else smokes in their house and how often? What do you do to get rid of the inevitable smell?
-
I smoke in my house, car and RV. Wife says yes and she does not smoke...
-
Some people install inline fans, filters and ventilation expressly for their smoking room.
I smoke in my empty two car garage. If I open the garage and let it vent out for half an hour after I smoke, the smell mostly goes away. It's my garage, so I'm not overly concerned about lingering scents in it.

I want to build a brew kitchen with storage when we buy our own house. Texas is also pretty nasty in the summer, and if my brew room is separated from the house I can do as I please. SWMBO has very bad asthma so there is no smoking in the house. Even the smell of smoke on me bothers her so I brush my teeth, wash my face and hands/shower, and change after smoking.
-
I don't and wouldn't smoke in my house or office.
When I toss the butt or dump out the dottle I want to be DONE with the tobacco, not have a foul, musty odor linger for days.
I know what you mean though, it's no fun smoking in searing heat or freezing cold.

I live in that same humidity. We have a sunroom/office, that can be closed off to the rest of the house. I use it when smoking conditions are poor. I use various smoker's candles, exhaust fan, and Ozium....10 minutes later, just a faint hint of a good cigar remains, which has not been offensive to anyone. My wife has never smoked anything, so she is our "coal mine canary", and I will abide by her wishes, should it ever bother her. Thus far it hasn't, and she will even occasionally join me when I go smoke and chat at my local B&M.

I smoke in my kitchen. I turn on the oven exhaust fan and when warm enough, open a window/door. I can smell the cigar odor for a while, but it seems to be mostly gone by the next day. I'd rather smoke outside but much of the year is just too cold here. At first I thought it might pose a problem smoking inside, but it's not a big deal and doesn't bother my non-smoking wife so it's all good.

It is all weather dependent and how badly I want a cigar. I sometimes smoke in my mancave/music room. I generally open a window and set a box fan up and suck out the smoke. My back patio is shaded by 4:30-5pm so I sit out there when it is tolerable. If it's raining I sit on the screened porch. Sometimes I close the BR door, open the window and back door and if there is any breeze it sucks out the smoke. However I decide to do it my wife never complains. I only smoke about 3 cigars a week and have never detected a lingering cigar smell and my kids and grandkids have never mentioned the house smelling like cigars.

Never smoked indoors aside from at a Lounge or B&M, but if we're I'd invest in Rabbit Air. Excellent air cleaning.

I smoke in my basement. I have deep window wells. I put a fan in the window sucking out and a fan behind me blowing twards the window. Seems to work fairly well.
