Smoke from downstairs

11 years ago

I moved into a house that was divided into upper and lower units. The lower unit was vacant when I first moved in but last week a married couple moved in below who are heavy smokers. The smoke smells have been invading my unit recently and its making me crazy. The house has one furnace that heats the lower unit but there are ducts running to the upstairs portion. I'm assuming they just blocked them off somehow since there was no way to meter the usage and just installed electric baseboard heaters upstairs. I'm looking for any advice on how to eliminate or minimize the smell as much as possible. I'm really sensitive to smells and masking them with febreeze and other perfumed solutions are just as bad in my opinion. I've looked into air ionizers but it seems the reviews are quite mixed. Help!
