- 1 BFA- Kiwi. Hatch circa 98', forever home with us Dec. 08'
So it seems we have gotten a neighbor who smokes and it's drifting in through the poorly sealed window like a draft (?) or possibly they smoke inside because just our office has smelled very lightly of stale cigarettes for a few days and we did just get a new neighbor on the other side of that wall in the past few days. Kiwi is hardly ever in that room but my husband works from home and we use it as a home gym. We've been keeping the door shut so the smell doesn't escape (we cannot smell it anywhere else). We have an air purifier in there, but it seems "limited" in it's ability to fully remove the smell. Because of all the computer equipment in that room, my husband is not keen on running a aromatherapy diffuser in there so are there any of the organic candles or incenses safe to burn in a room away from Kiwi? I suspect when I caulk around the windows and install proper weather stripping the issue will be solved. I can't smell it stronger when I stick my nose up to the shared wall or the floor, so I'm *guessing* it's coming through the window and not someone smoking in their unit. That window is drafty and not well sealed, so I suspect that is the issue. Any brand suggestions for a candle or other pleasantly scented thing that can be burned in another room with the door closed but wouldn't harm Kiwi if some of the scent got out would be appreciated!
