@Yorkiedaze: Haha, it's not my husband. It's my grandmother. I'd never date, let alone marry, a smoking man. 
@lrichardsonrnc: I think if anyone were to understand my situation, it'd definitely be you. I love my Grandmother dearly, and so I don't get onto her about her cigarettes. She's taken care of me all my life, and tried to quit 4 times already. She doesn't go to doctors, either. So, I don't gripe about it. I've just been quietly trying to find a way to lessen the effects it has on me. |
If you know your dog can't get into the closet, I would recommend baking soda. If you can make the space I would recommend getting a cheap baking sheet (with sides!) and filling it with baking soda and sitting it on the floor. Baking soda is good at absorbing odors, and by giving it more air space it might catch a little more then it you just stuck a box in there.
Charcoal like a couple other people mentioned works really well too. An air purifier in your room would do the best job (would catch all the smoke) but they aren't overly cheap. (If you go that route, I would recommend one with a cleanable filter - a couple brands make them but I know hunter does. Also avoid the ones that just "ionize" you really want something that has several different layers of filtering since it will catch more.)
