Razhie answered Saturday August 5 2006, 1:48 pm: Those are mostly surgical masks that you have a picture of there and sadly no, they don't protect agianst smoke. The only one there that *might* provide any smoke protection is the second one from the left in the second row. Pollen and dust molecules are gennerally pretty big, smoke moleculas are just too small for fabrics or thin plastics like that to provide any protection agianst.
In order to filter out smoke you'll need a respiratory smoke mask. Those look more like a small gas mask that fits over the nose and mouth. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
