- 1). Choose the best room for this project. A spare room isn’t always the best choice. You want to pick a room that is away from all the other rooms, if possible. You also want to pick the most accessible room so that you don’t have to walk company through your entire house before getting to your smoking room. A basement would be the best choice, if available.
- 2). Install air-tight stripping to any doors that lead out from your would-be smoking room to the rest of the house. This will help keep the smoke in the room.
- 3). Install a separate HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning) system to the room if your budget allows for it. This will prevent any smoke from traveling through the vents to the rest of your home. If you don’t have the budget for such a system, make sure that you pick a room that has the most windows to help ventilate the smoke rather than have the smoke pool at the ceiling and seep into the vents.
- 4). Install a fire alarm and fire extinguisher in the room. The fire extinguisher should be near the door. You want to make sure that if a fire starts in your smoking room, you have a way of containing it without having to leave the room. If you cannot contain the fire, then make sure to evacuate the home and call emergency services as soon as possible.
- 5). Furnish the room with plenty of seating, coffee tables, side tables and ashtrays. Ashtrays are very important because you want to have a way of safely disposing of ashes and cigarette butts. Couches, chairs and lounges are excellent smoking room seating arrangements.
- 6). Install a small humidor if your budget allows for it. The humidor can be used to store cigars and cigarettes without having the tobacco go stale.
