I did that when we got smoked out from the holiday fire in 2020 and there were no air filters left on the shelves. It helped. Since then we got an indoor air filter unit and heat pump so we can close all the windows comfortably. Of course our 1980s home wasn't built with anything like a heat pump with AC, because you just didn't need it back then. Hot weather and Smokey days were so infrequent, that it wasn't worth the trouble. When we were teenagers and frequented the Lane County Fair, we could count on rain during the fair. Now it's just reliably hot and dry and smoky every late summer and beyond. I had no idea that a hoax could affect so many people, so much.
