Not sure. Why doesn't she just open a window? Is this a shared closet? You know everything in that closet is gonna smell like an ash tray.

Coming soon to an MLS listing...this house has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and TWO shit-in closets!

OK, this time I'm serious. I don't have expertise in this area, but that sounds like a bad idea. Probably should get it outside in any way possible.

You would have to vent it through a roof cap. This will achieve nothing. I am skeptical it would effectively deal with the smell even if you did vent it outside. Cigarettes stink like shit.

If your attic is properly vented and insulated, this should work fine, since you aren't venting moisture.

This too. Even when people smoke outside, they still stink of smoke when they come in.

There are most likely louvers at both ends of the house in the attic where air can escape. Typically, when people are worried about venting a bathroom fan into an attic, they are worried about moisture and possible mildew. But it isn't really a huge deal.

As far as wether or not you will be able to smell smoke elsewhere in the house...I have no idea.

If it's cigarettes then tell her to use an e-cig during the winter months. I don't believe they stink or really put off the smoke, plus it's likely significantly better for her. Probably cheaper than trying to install your own fan and definitely cheaper than an electro-shock induced hospital trip.

If it's not cigs...then have her light a match when she's done....

tell her to quit smoking. Then hand her some skoal. Problem fixed.

We just don't want to see a vid like this later.....

Just be an alpha and make the bitch go outside if she wants to smoke, or in your garage. It's really a stupid thing to do.

I will say this though, women make you do crazy shit.

I got married pretty young, wife didn't work. I come home from work and she is bitching about it being hot and none ventilated.

I was just like f you, I'll be back in 15 minutes. Went and bought a cheap fan at Wally World, stopped to get some beer on the way back. Go home cut the right sized hole after taking the old light out.

Put the damn thing in and said are you happy now?

My landlord came over one day and wasn't real happy because it was antique light I took out. I just told her it's in the basement take it to your house.

Yeah Ive been up there and you can see light coming in. I really dont want to cut a hole in my roof to vent it out, if its going to require that much work she can freeze her ass off.

This is your best option

yah, whatever happened with smoking in the garage???

"Its too cold"
