Smoking Room Ventilation

It's really meant to be built in, like a ceiling fan. Different models are, well, different and you need to check the specs. This one is 120 V, .7 A, so it could probably be added to most household circuits depending on how much load there already is on the circuit breaker.

I would emphasize the advice above that you need a lot of CFMs to control smoke while you are smoking. The best thing is to choose the number of air changes per hour you want and that leads to the CFM. If you just want something that helps a little bit, then a window fan or the like is sufficient. You always want more air flowing no to the outside because this will keep smoke from migrating into the rest of the house.

I live in a 2 level house. Living room is on the first floor. If I put this into the living room, do I need to duct it outside? I currently have a ceiling fan, but don't mind putting this in as well.

The window fan works great, but this looks even better, to help out after the cigars ,or when there's like 4 people smoking cigars and window fan can only do so much.

I do close the floor vents when I smoke. It help keep the smoke from circulating around the whole house...

Yes, a unit like this has two ducts to the out of doors. One exhausts dirty air and the other pulls in outside air. The two airflows exchange heat so you don't lose so much (and, you get true fresh air in the house)
