Air Filters for Smokers

I've got some smokers in the rental house and want to add air filtering. I've got a small hepa type filter with an ionizer in temporarily. But since I am dealing with mostly smoke, I wonder if one of the electrostatic types would work just as well if not better. Suggestions? Google is failing me here. Jeff Suggestion??? Ya, no smoking in the house. That's my rule. Seems to work. One tenant even thanked me for helping him to quit because of the rule. -- Steve Barker remove the "not" from my address to email |

Good idea, but it should be in the lease with penalties if they still smoke in the house. Many smokers "insist" on their "right to smoke" and will do it anyway. Many cannot smell the smoke odors in the house because they are used to it and their nasal passages are "burnt out", they think if they smoke near an open door or window or fan the smoke it will disappear and no one will be able to detect it. Walt Disney World has a no smoking policy in their hotels along with a several hundred dollar fine for "cleaning" the room if one smokes in it. |

Its easier than that, if they admit to smoking, the showing is over. Nobody will quit for your lease. |

My wife can smell smoke in a building (even one open to the outside) two weeks later. -- Steve Barker remove the "not" from my address to email |

No, but they do sit on the porch. 83% of my renters smoke, but not in the house. -- Steve Barker remove the "not" from my address to email |
