I'm thinking about repurposing my old laptop cooler fan to help eliminate cigarette smoke, as I'm looking for a simple and budget-friendly solution. Has anyone tried this before, or does anyone have thoughts on whether it could work?

Honestly, if you’re trying to smoke indoors, it’s probably best to just go outside. No filter can completely handle the smell inside, and it might turn out much worse in the long run. But if you want to stay inside, consider making a Corsi-Rosenthal box for a DIY air purifier—it’s cheap and way more effective than a laptop fan!
Are you looking to eliminate the smoke while you’re smoking, or just reduce the smell afterward? A sploof could be useful for the moment you're smoking, and for long-term smell removal, ozone generators can work wonders, though they're for after the fact.
For real! I think it's smarter to look into ways to mitigate the smell while smoking and the right tools for afterward.
Using a laptop fan to manage smoke might not be the best idea. Laptop fans are made to move warm air, not smoke, so it could break down pretty quickly. If you want to try, consider adding some kind of filtration, but know that could strain the fan even more.
Yeah, I agree with you! Filtering the smoke just makes it harder for the fan to work and could fry it faster.
Exactly! A little effort outside is way better than fighting the smell indoors with half-baked solutions.
