For the first time in a couple of decades I am living in an apartment. I live alone, I certainly don't smoke (having both parents die of lung cancer does that to you) but I am still dealing with it. It comes in at times through the air conditioner vent. What I think is that the air conditioner is drawing air in an airshaft (I can see a grilled opening in the closet that houses the unit). It must be a shared shaft. Since the beginning of the month when folks behind me moved in, I have smelled smoke off and on. Any ideas for dealing with it? I am trying to save for an air cleaner but it really tight on my budget. I am just hoping someone might give me some ideas to stop it before it comes into my apartment. I don't want my ferrets dealing with it at all. The apartment is small, and all the places cages can sit are by air ducts. Besides, *I* really don't want to be subjected to it either. blessings, Margie [Posted in FML issue 5036]
