it works...don't ask me how, cause i'm no scientist, but it does...don't know if it works on stuff that has been lingering in upholstery for a while, but on fresh smoke and smells, it does work...I always put some out just before cooking fish, and the smell is gone before I'm finished cooking...same with smoke...coffee just absorbs it all somehow...

Can't see how, offhand. Maybe just covers the smell? Some odours are more noticable to the nose, like some noises, even if quiet, can drown out other louder sounds.
Be interesting to note what happens if someone walks in immedately after the coffee was put away, straight after the fish was eaten.

Yeah, maybe coverage...
I know drug smugglers often hide their payloads in coffee...the sniffer dogs can't smell the weed.

Yeah. Maybe solubility coefficients, or perhaps receptor sensitivity. We are very sensitive to bitter flavours and smells - a category coffee and chocolate both sit in - since naturally poisonous edible substances also sit in this category. Well, a lot of them do.

Ok, beer o'clock it is.
However, I have no idea what naturally occuring alumino-silicates of boron have to do with smoke clearing, though.

I quit smoking cigarettes 10 years ago...though I still continued to smoke....other stuff.The main reason was the money,but also I found myself having chest pains and wheezy lungs.It was a little scary.
But with the abscence of my favourite BC grown smokables I fell off the tobacco wagon 4 hours into my visit to China.Curiously I do not feel any worse for it.Seeing all the elderly smokers here(my headmaster has been smoking for over 40 years) I am thinking that maybe only western cigarettes are bad for you!
As for the air,I keep it in the computer room with the window open.My wife smokes too and two days of smoking everywhere made our apartment reek.

Given the state of the atmosphere in China, which we ALL breathe 24/7, I reckon smoking is the least of my worries.....and probably yours too.
A lot of Chinese restaurants have coffe grounds in their ashtrays.

I don't buy cups of coffee in China. I'm not silly!

Mum's latest care package came today. Coffee plunger, 3 packs of REAL coffee and hot chocolate all over. One day after I found a source locally. She did provide my favourite blends though, which aren't here.
God bless mothers.
