Abstract: A smoke removal system for a vehicle includes a primary smoke exit vent and a secondary smoke exit vent associated with passenger locations inside a passenger compartment of a vehicle. Each exit vent is individually, selectively operable such that only the smokers inside the passenger compartment need actuate the smoke exit vents to maintain the passenger compartment substantially smoke free. The primary exit vent may be included on an articulated arm which may be positioned proximate the smoker's head to create a capture zone that will directly remove residual or exhaust smoke exhaled by the smoker.
