Even the most avid smokers have a negative attitude towards the old cigarette smell and smoke. Therefore, the question of how to get rid of the smell of tobacco in an apartment is now of interest to many.
Former smokers and non-smokers understand that getting rid of the smoke and smell of tobacco is simply necessary. This is one of worst smells, which you can imagine.
How to get rid of tobacco smell in an apartment. A non-smoking person reacts very sensitively to the smell of tobacco, which is deeply absorbed into furniture and textiles. Smoking has a detrimental effect on human health.
The need to inhale unpleasant odors is a severe test for a person, causing feelings of fatigue, nausea, and headaches. One of the most unpleasant odors is the smell of tobacco smoke, tobacco, and cigarettes. We are, of course, talking about non-smoking people, because smokers practically do not notice it. Once you have been in a smoky room, it is not difficult to get rid of the haunting smell - you just need to wash your clothes and wash your hair. What to do if you have to live in this very smoky room?
Probably the smell from cigarettes and tobacco is one of the most difficult odors to remove. Tobacco smoke penetrates everywhere: into carpets, rugs, curtains, clothes. Therefore, it is very important to know effective ways to get rid of the smell of tobacco in an apartment.
Situations are different. Let’s say you managed to rent an apartment inexpensively, the former residents of which smoked in every room. Or a smoky apartment, for example, was inherited. Well, or the owners themselves, who had “smoked” their apartment, finally gained strength, quit smoking and soon discovered what a terrible smell reigned in their house. What to do in all these situations? How to get rid of the ingrained smell of tobacco smoke?
They say that wet sponges and towels can draw out odors even from furniture. Maybe it will really help get rid of the smell of tobacco and tobacco smoke? In any case, it won’t hurt, so the first thing you can do is place plates with wet sponges in all rooms and hang wet terry towels. Well, then you need to start general cleaning.
Eliminate tobacco (cigarette) odor you can do this: wet several cotton kitchen towels and hang them on the doors in all rooms. Wet towels quickly absorb cigarette smell. In the room where smokers smoked, it is advisable to remove the curtains and wash them. If there are sofa covers, you can also wash them or at least hang them out on the balcony to air.
The floors must also be rinsed with water, to which you must add ammonia. This will also help eliminate the unpleasant smell from cigarettes in the apartment.
There is another fairly effective way to eliminate the smell of tobacco and cigarettes. You can take a very ordinary bay leaf and set it on fire in an ashtray (washed of ash).

Very quickly there will be no trace of the smell of tobacco left.
We eliminate the smell of tobacco and cigarettes - we do general cleaning!
How to get rid of the smell of tobacco if it is already firmly entrenched in the apartment? The greatest difficulty is removing tobacco odor from textiles and carpets - they are the ones who retain, according to experts, up to 70 percent of the total tobacco odor.
Of course, if you renovate the apartment, painting the ceilings, re-pasting the wallpaper, replacing doors and floor coverings, then there will be no smell - it simply won’t come from anywhere. Wood absorbs odors, so wooden window frames will definitely need to be painted or replaced with plastic ones. In general, repairs are an effective but drastic measure. But what if there is neither time nor opportunity for repairs?
Textiles, carpets, etc. Fabrics absorb odor most strongly, so first of all you need to wash curtains, bedspreads, blankets, etc. It is better to buy new pillows or have old ones cleaned. It is also advised to leave unpleasant-smelling pillows in the cold for several days, but this is unlikely to help (tested from my own experience).
All carpeting needs to be cleaned. The easiest option is to wash carpets and rugs with a vacuum cleaner using an aromatic shampoo. If there is no washing vacuum cleaner, you will have to do the cleaning manually.
Products like “Vanish” clean and remove odors from carpets very well: first you need to vacuum the carpet, then prepare a container with water and foam and distribute it over the surface with a mop. It's okay if the surface gets wet - after that the carpet will definitely not smell. When the carpet is dry, it needs to be vacuumed again.
In winter, you can clean carpets outside - roll them up, take them out, load them into the car and take them to a vacant lot covered with untouched snow. After such snow cleaning, the carpet will smell not like smoke, but like fresh air.
The upholstery of upholstered furniture also needs to be cleaned - with a vacuum cleaner or a special cleaning agent (the same Vanish, for example).
If possible, it is better to replace bed mattresses with new ones. But if that doesn’t work, you need to knock out the old mattresses. How to knock out upholstered furniture and mattresses? Take a piece soft fabric(for example, flannel) measuring approximately 50 by 50 cm, soak it in water (you can add essential oil to the water) and squeeze it out thoroughly.
Place the fabric in a straightened state on an area of the mattress or sofa and gently tap the fabric with a beater. All dust coming out is immediately absorbed by a damp cloth. Of course, you need to periodically rinse it, wring it out again and continue cleaning the mattress or sofa.
The mattress cover, if it is not removable, also needs to be cleaned with a damp brush (you can add a little shampoo or liquid soap to the water to moisten the brush).
The clothes, of course, also absorbed the odors, but you don’t have to do mass washing - gradually all the clothes will be washed. But things like sheepskin coats and fur coats should be dry cleaned - otherwise the smell will remain.
Soft toys need to be washed either by hand or in the washing machine. When rinsing clothes, blankets, soft toys, sofa cushions, etc. It’s worth adding a fragrant air conditioner - let the house now have more pleasant smells.
Surfaces that can be washed. To get rid of the smell of tobacco smoke in the house, all moisture-resistant surfaces must be cleaned: including ceilings, walls, window sills, floors, windows, etc. You should add a little vinegar to the washing water - it removes the smell of tobacco smoke well. If there is “washable” wallpaper or paint on the walls, they also need to be washed. Well, walls covered with non-moisture-resistant wallpaper need to be vacuumed and then walked over them with a slightly dampened cloth (it is also advisable to add vinegar to the water to moisten).
Books. Paper absorbs odors very well - if a lot of books were stored in a room where they smoked, they probably absorbed the smell of tobacco smoke, and it will be almost impossible to get rid of it.
Books, unfortunately, cannot be washed or cleaned. There are three options here: first- put books in a closet with very tight doors; second- organize a library on the balcony for at least one winter - during this time the smell will disappear, albeit partially (books on the balcony/loggia can be stored in boxes or in a closet); third- say goodbye to paper volumes and switch to reading electronic books.
How to get rid of the smell of cigarettes and tobacco smoke? Perform aromatization!

Folk remedy to get rid of smell in the apartment: pour freshly ground coffee into bowls and vases, place them around the house, leave for two weeks, then replace the coffee with fresh coffee. This can be repeated many times until one day it turns out that the smell of tobacco and cigarettes has disappeared forever.
It is also believed that salt, fresh bread, and grains of rice are good at drawing out unpleasant odors, but we probably won’t decorate the apartment with vases of rice and salted bread.
You can drip your favorite perfume onto all the lamps in the house (this should be done when the lamp is not on). When the light turns on and the lamp warms up, the aroma will intensify and spread throughout the house.
Devices for eliminating the smell of tobacco and tobacco smoke. An excellent, but very expensive solution for aromatizing smoky rooms is to purchase an air freshener. Modern air flavorings They work on the basis of cold, not hot (unlike an aroma lamp) evaporation. Dosage, as a rule, is automated - while the owners are sleeping, the fragrance continues to gently “inject” a pleasant smell into the air, distributing it using a fan. A wonderful air freshener that has earned many positive reviews is Venta RB10.
Instead of flavoring, you can buy a so-called air washer - humidifier and air purifier in one device. What you need for your home is a household air washer, which will create in the rooms the atmosphere that reigns in a forest clearing after rain - the rooms will be fresh and humid. Smell of smoking You definitely won’t feel it, at least while the air washer is working. By the way, modern air conditioners also have the function of removing unpleasant odors - such as, for example, Panasonic air conditioners with an advanced air purification system.
Gradually cleansing and humidifying the air sink and air conditioner will do their job - the apartment is completely get rid of the smell of cigarettes. Of course, not everyone can afford to buy a separate device for each room, so the location of the air washer can be changed from time to time, moving it from one room to another.
An economical idea is to buy an aroma lamp. The best thing mask the smell of tobacco smoke essential oils l lemon, grapefruit and orange, as well as oils with pine aromas. Moreover, citrus and pine oils can be mixed - and the house will smell like New Year, but the “aroma” of tobacco and cigarettes will not be noticeable.
You shouldn't think that home scenting- this is a “dead poultice”, and smoke smell will never leave. After all, the same fabrics, wallpaper, fillings for upholstered furniture and mattresses, wooden doors, etc. - all this will absorb new odors over time and completely eliminate the old ones. So scent it as much as you like and let it into your home more often Fresh air, that is, ventilate the premises.

Save on social networks:We're so used to seeing smoking people on the balcony from the street, that this is no longer something out of the ordinary. The smoker indulges in his addiction, but at the same time does not bother anyone and does not seem to cause harm. This is exactly what most smokers think. However, cigarette smoke from a neighbor’s balcony tends to spread and penetrate into other people’s apartments, and smoking on a neighbor’s balcony itself can bring much more harm. more problems than just an unpleasant odor. So, is it possible to smoke on the balcony, what is the danger of cigarette smoke from neighbors and how can you protect yourself from it? Let's figure it out.
“The freedom of one person ends where the freedom of another begins,” wrote Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakunin. This idea runs through all human activity - I am free as long as my interests do not affect the interests of others. There is quite a lot of controversy around the meaning of this expression: some interpret it as the impossibility of going beyond the law, others say that everyone should be equal, and others think that this is a limitation of any activity to certain limits. And wherever this phrase is used, controversy is automatically attached to it. It’s the same story with smoking on the balcony. Is it possible to smoke on the balcony of your apartment? What to do if your neighbors smoke and come towards you? What are the dangers of having smoking neighbors and how dangerous are they? Let's start, perhaps, with how it can harm you if your neighbors smoke on the balcony.
According to the latest research data, cigarette smoke contains more than four thousand chemicals, including about forty carcinogens, twelve of which contribute to the development of cancer. Constantly being near a smoker can have a very unpleasant consequences. Many people are familiar with the situation: a neighbor smokes on the balcony, and the smoke comes into my apartment. Tobacco smoke is strong and pronounced, so even a small amount can disrupt olfactory comfort. At the same time, cigarette smoke is highly permeable and easily finds its way into the homes of non-smokers. If the neighbor below smokes on the balcony, then the smoke rises to you and passes through the windows; residents of the first floors or private houses are disturbed by smokers on benches, who often smoke directly into the windows. Also, cigarette vapors easily penetrate through hatches in the floor, through neighbors' balconies, and kitchen windows.
If smoking occurs close to you and most of the smoke reaches your home, then in such cases we talk about passive smoking. From childhood, many parents teach their children that they should not stand with uncles and aunts who smoke. And rightly so, since passive smoking can be just as dangerous as regular smoking. Cigarette smoke, penetrating into the body of a non-smoker, has a more harmful effect on him due to his inability than on the body of a smoker.
With constant passive smoking, there is a high probability of developing oncological diseases, diseases of the lungs, upper respiratory tract, middle ear, possible disturbances in blood circulation and the functioning of other organs. Few people would like to be treated for serious illnesses only because the cigarette smoke of the tenant behind the wall penetrates to you.
Even with occasional exposure, cigarette smoke can be dangerous. If your apartment periodically smells of tobacco, it may develop over time. persistent cough, which removes foreign substances from the body through a sharp exhalation through the mouth. Thus, your body will try to rid you of an unwanted guest - nicotine tar. Again, few people like to constantly cough as soon as your neighbor decides to take a smoke break.
Even more dangerous consequence the presence of smoking neighbors - complications of attacks. People with asthma have a harder time tolerating the smell of tobacco, and constant exposure Cigarette smoke aggravates attacks of the disease, making them more frequent and severe.
In addition, if neighbors below smoke on the balcony, the smell of cigarettes can harm not only your health, but also your property. First of all, the smell is absorbed into those things that are located on your balcony. Quite often, a balcony or loggia is used for drying washed clothes. Let's imagine what will happen to the aroma of your things if you periodically spray them cigarette smoke. Right. The pungent and pungent odor will quickly fill the space and be absorbed into the laundry so that it will not be able to dissipate for a long time even in an open and ventilated space. In addition to clothing, the smell of cigarettes can permeate upholstered furniture and books on the balcony, and a half-smoked cigarette carelessly thrown by a neighbor can even cause a fire.
Is it legal to smoke on the balcony: what do the regulations say?
So, if your neighbors smoke on the balcony, how to deal with it? First of all, you can try talking to your neighbor. He can be sure that he can safely smoke on the balcony and no one but him, his nicotine addiction doesn't bother. Most likely, in this way it will be possible to resolve the situation peacefully, but if conversations have not helped and it is simply vital for a neighbor to smoke on the balcony of an apartment building, causing inconvenience to all other residents, then you can consider other methods of resolving this conflict. First of all, you should carefully study regulations, but don’t we have a law banning smoking on the balcony?
Indeed, on February 23, 2013, it was adopted the federal law No. 15 “ON PROTECTING THE HEALTH OF CITIZENS FROM IMPACT OF AMBIENT TOBACCO SMOKE AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF TOBACCO CONSUMPTION.”
We open the law and read: Article 12 “Prohibition of tobacco smoking in certain territories, premises and facilities”, clause 1., clause. 10. “To prevent the impact of environmental tobacco smoke on human health, smoking tobacco in elevators and premises is prohibited common use apartment buildings." In this law, public premises are understood as landings, stairs, elevators, elevator and other shafts, corridors, technical floors, attics, and basements.
Thus, when answering the question “Is it possible to smoke on the balcony of an apartment building?”, you need to clarify whether the balcony is shared or included in the living space of a specific apartment. If the balcony does not belong to the entrance area, then the ban on smoking on the balconies of apartment buildings does not apply to it. If your neighbors smoke on stairwells or other common areas, then the sanctions prescribed by law are applicable to them, namely, if problems arise with cigarette smoke and one of the parties is unwilling to solve them, the authorities can intervene and resolve the conflict upon the appeal of one from these sides. You can safely call the police or contact the local police officer if your neighbors do not make contact. True, most likely, they will be subject to a reprimand or a fine of 500 rubles. But the very fact of the presence of organs can change the situation for the better.
Balconies of apartment owners are not included in the list listed in Federal Law No. 15. However, by law you can smoke on a balcony or loggia only if it does not cause harm to others. If you prove otherwise, such smoking will be considered illegal. Then the ban on smoking on the balcony comes into force, and a fine of 500 to 1,500 rubles may be imposed on the smoker. If children were nearby while smoking, the fine may increase to 3,000 rubles.

Neighbors smoke on the balcony. How to fight?
If peace negotiations and legislation do not work in your case or work too slowly, there are other ways you can protect yourself and your loved ones from the effects of tobacco smoke. Let's logically consider this situation: people are outside your house, smoking on the balcony, and it is not at all clear how to deal with them. But if you can't convince people, you can stop the smoke. Of course, if you constantly live with tightly closed plastic double-glazed windows, smoke will not penetrate through the windows, but, unfortunately, neither will the air. In this case, you can install a high-quality

Besides hazardous substances, which contains the smell of cigarettes, it is also unpleasant in all respects: prolonged exposure to tobacco smoke can cause dizziness, nausea and weakness. Passive smoking also contributes to the development of cancer and other diseases, just like regular smoking.
How to protect yourself if the aroma of cigarettes is a frequent guest in your apartment or house? First you need to understand the reason for its appearance.
The smell of tobacco in the house: reasons
There are not so many reasons that contribute to the smell of tobacco in an apartment or house.
- Firstly, quite often smoky apartments pass from one owner to another when buying or renting. Sometimes the previous residents smoked in the room and did not go outside or even onto the landing, so even the walls in the apartment smelled of cigarettes.
- Secondly, if there is a heavy smoker in the family, and he smokes even on the balcony, a small gap is enough for the smoke to get from the balcony into the room and stagnate there.
