Smoking by the tent.

I don't wanna come off like a stop smoking ad and answer your question as honest as possible. I myself am a former smoker who smoked for about 25 years then vaped another 5 and I've had more successful grows than I could possibly count in a house full of smokers. That said it's not "optimal" either. Even then, nobody smoked in the same room as the plants and anyone handling plants had to wash their hands first. If that area is where you're designated to smoke, there are creative ways to set up exhaust and intakes for both the room and tent to make it less of an issue. Don't smoke in the area where you pull f air from is the main thing.

Smoking in the same building of your grow is going to be an issue. Smoke covers and clogs everything and there is no escaping it unless you go outside. Have fun smoking, I know someone who now has lung cancer and now has to have all their teeth pulled because they smoked for 30 years. If the filter is yellow, your lungs are black.

Stop immediately......cannabis and tobacco diseases are an actual real threat...might be tiny, but why risk it? For your health, give the ciggies away.....it is the best thing I ever decided for my health. Once you give up, you will realize how disgusting it is....especially the STINK! I got tablets to help...it took 3 days for me to stop completely, but I wanted to do it mentally already.

Don't smoke inside the tent, it's pure pollution for your poor girls ...

Hi, You can basically buy a new one. I read once if you smoke a full joint or cigarette next to your filter than it's done. It's not made for that gunk a joint produces and it all cloks up. Like the fans in your PC or Playstation for example. But you can't realy clean a fiilter, maybe a little. You can still try and use it but if you want to be sure buy a new one and keep it as reserve. The moment someone complaints, that should be the time to replace.
