Smoke smell has got me down. HELP

[2600]

I am smoking with a buddy of mine and we live in a pretty old house. The smell gets everywhere because my windows won't open. They are painted shut. The central air only has a blowing vent, no return air vent.

Windows stuck shut by paint is not something you should accept as circumstances that you just have work around. Get some paint remover, and get those windows open.

Filters, air cleaners, air ionizers do NOTHING unless air is moving through them (which doesn't happen a great deal under even the best circumstances). There is minimal air circulation in your house. Removing stale air is just as important as replacing it with fresh air. If you are renting, that's on your landlord. I would actually ask an AC guy about the system. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, but there should be a VENT somewhere! Ya'll are going to get SICK if you don't do something about it.

Good luck.

They are painted shut. The central air only has a blowing vent, no return air vent. So the only way it gets out of my room is through the door or the walls. I'm thinking of hooking up an active carbon filter and maybe even a HEPC filter to a small but powerful fan. Will this work at all? I light a strong scented candle as well.
