smoke smell in home
 

Hello,
pls don't flame me on this post! Recently (on & off), we've been
smelling some
smoke odors in our 2-story house. There are NO smokers in our house.
There is no odor in the mornings nor afternoons, only in the
evening/nights.

I scanned some posts here and it appears that smoke odors may be
related
to the A/C components, correct?

One thing I have yet to determine is if a walking neighbor (who is a
smoker)
could smoke around the perimeter and the odors would permeate our
house.
I don't know if this is posible with the A/C off.

Thanks for any info!

Neighbor with a fireplace?

It's certainly possible. I can usually smell when a car in front of
me has a smoker in it.

Either my nose is getting better or cigarettes are actually smelling
worse over time.

I'm the same way. I ran past a smoker sitting on a park bench and
could smell her smoke and perfume when I was down wind, 200 yards from
her. Smoker's don't realize how stinky they are. As for OP, nose
should be able to differentiate between cigarette smoke, wood smoke and
electrical component. I sometimes get some transient fireplace odor in
my house due to furnace draw.

If you have a sensitive nose, there could be smoke drawn in (negative
pressure) under doors, etc. I assume there is no evidence of someone
loitering in the yard.
