Cigarette smoke can get into the HVAC system
My brother Harry has been smoking since he was a teenager, and although I have tried many times to get him to quit, he has ignored all of my efforts. He has always doubled down and claimed that it’s his life and he can live it the way he sees fit. And of course, he’s right, it’s his life and he can do what he pleases. So, I have always just left him alone and just showed him love, even though I didn’t agree with his actions. Anyway, recently, he needed a place to stay because his HVAC system broke in his home, and it was going to take a few days for it to get fixed. Well, of course, I wanted to help my brother, but only under one condition, that he did not smoke inside my house or around my children. I have been to Harry’s house, and it smells like cigarette smoke, and I didn’t want him to have my house smelling like that for the 3 days that he would be staying here. We all know that cigarette smoke can linger, and it can get pulled into the HVAC system. The particles from the cigarette smoke can get pulled into the filter and cause the house to smell like smoke if the filter isn’t changed regularly. My brother has an air purifier that he uses inside his home, but it doesn’t fully purify the air because it still smells like smoke inside his home. Anyway, Harry decided not to stay with me for those 3 days, I guess he would rather be hot than give up smoking for a comfortable place to stay.
