Smoke and odor elimination filters, devices and methods

An enclosed smoking device, comprising:

• a combustion chamber capable of receiving a cigarette, the combustion chamber being sized so that the cigarette is secured inside the combustion chamber when inserted therein;
• an inhalation path for allowing inhalation airflow from the combustion chamber through the cigarette during inhalation by a user, the inhalation path comprising an inhalation vent for allowing the inhalation airflow into the combustion chamber, and the inhalation path further comprising a one-way inhalation valve allowing the inhalation airflow to travel only through the cigarette during inhalation;
• an exhalation filter including a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter and a foam core within the HEPA filter, the foam core having a longitudinal bore;
• an odor absorbing fluid infused in at least a portion of the exhalation filter;
• an exhalation path for forcing exhalation airflow through the longitudinal bore and then through the foam core and then through the HEPA filter, and for forcing the exhalation airflow into contact with the odor absorbing fluid during exhalation by the user, the exhalation path including a one-way exhalation valve for preventing the exhalation airflow from traveling through the cigarette and for allowing the exhalation airflow to travel through the exhalation filter during exhalation;
• a heating element in contact with a tip of the cigarette, the heating element being biased to contact the tip of the cigarette as the cigarette combusts and until the cigarette reaches a predetermined length;
• and
• an ash chamber coupled to the combustion chamber and having an ash outlet adapted to facilitate removal of a combusted portion of the cigarette generated as the cigarette combusts, the ash outlet being distinct from the inhalation vent.
