My favorite idea for fresh air is having small lids from bottles or jars hidden all round the house (where they can't be seen) filled with Vanilla. Your home will smell like you have been cooking all day! I agree about smoking outside.

I am a smoker, and what I do is have small clay or terracotta bowls with lids filled with kitty litter around my home. bedroom, restroom, living room, my tiny office and my patio. If anything, you don't see those black bottomed ashtrays, and I dig the cigarette butts way in the kitty litter so they don't show, and when there are 5 to 6 in there, I dump the kitty litter in the trash and refill. It's kind of neat, and you can get the kitty litter (and possibly the bowls w/lids at the 99 cents store. Thank you for the tips on controlling odors.

So you are literally cleaning your air with this plant. An Indoor plant like the Snake (mother in-law’s tongue) plant gives off a great deal of oxygen compared to other plants.

There are a lot of places in there that you can't reach to clean. Be prepared to leave the house when they do it, though, especially if you're allergic to dust!

You have to make sure the vacuum has a quality filtering system, a lot of them are just cheap and don't catch much. A good hepa filter system will really help if you have hay fever or pets.

Make smokers go all the way outside before they light up, and don't let them stand beside a window or open door. If it's rainy or cold outside, that's their problem.

And ceiling fans or desk fans need to be cleaned too. Dirty fans and vents spread dust, especially in the winter with the heater on or in the summer with the air conditioner on all the time.

It's a good time to do any housecleaning that needs chemicals too, because none of the chemical fumes stay in the house.
