hiding smoke from roommates

I did a little searching and didn't find much posted around about this. Also, I do know of the "doob-tube" so that is already a possible solution.
Here is the situation:
It is possible that I will be moving in with roommates that I'd rather not know I smoke. How easy is it to truly mask the fact I smoke in my room? I would probably have my own bathroom so thats an option, and I burn lots of incense. But if anyone here has had a similiar experience, got any advice?

Well I'd start by saying that it's really best to have roommates be comfortable with something like that, cause they'll probably find out eventually (I mean you live with these people for at least a year probably, right?) and it should be out in the open. If you really need to hide it though I'd say stock up on Febreze, then get a towel you don't care to get dirty and use that stop up the bottom of your door and beyond that make a blowtube out of fabric softener and a toilet paper roll.

Cigarettes or Pot? I'm assuming pot, but will it be likely you'll have a balcony or something that makes it so you don't have to smoke inside?

Get a one-hitter (if we're talking about weed) if you're talking about cigarettes then you're fucked and getting caught. With herb, smoke from a one hitter. Right before you stop inhaling, cap the bowl tightly with, well, just about anything flat that will cover it. Make sure you cover the mouth hole too. Hold your hit in as long as you possibly can, so all of the smoke dissipates in your lungs (helps to take smaller hits). When you do blow out if you can't hold in long enough, blow into a sweater, a pillow, or a tube mentioned above. You can smoke under someones nose like this, and they'll never know. It's been done ;-)

I no longer smoke cigarettes, but I do still use a hookah. I'm not sure how they would feel about the hookah, but I figure if I seal off my room they can't say anything about that. The one hitter is already acquired, also a nice 'water pipe.' And yes the bathroom has an exhaust, also I will only be smoking at night more than likely (bedtime or alone time ritual).

You should REALLY think hard about moving in with people who you don't want to know that you smoke. Think about it this way:
1) Do you really want to live with people who you have to be openly dishonest with?
2) Why don't you want them to know? Are they the type who might call the police, or otherwise harass you upon finding out? Are you comfortable living with that threat over your head?
I would recommend openly talking with them. Use hypothetical discussions about "friends" if it helps. Find out why they may/may not be against smoking. Remember that people abstain for a huge variety of reasons. If they're just concerned about personal welfare, and they understand that you'll do it when they aren't in the room, you might be okay.
But, what if they've REALLY bought into some of the bad information out there? Are you prepared for them to recommend you go to counseling "for your own good" or worse?

Because I'm pretty sure if they're ignorant, they can't get in trouble for what I do (in the hypothetical context that it could happen, though nothing ever leaves my home, and is only used in the home). They're knowing makes them liable instead of only myself.

eating it is the best option.
How would you reccomend that one of my friends weighed up, who lives in a dorm with very anti drug friends?

Eating it is a terrible option. It's a cumbersome, pain-in-the-ass waste of time and weed.
edud, listen here, for I have years of experience in this exact field.
The most effective way is as follows (if you must smoke inside):
You'll need a room with window that can open. Open the window a crack, insert a straw (McDonald's diameter is best) through the crack, so that half of it is sticking outside. If there is a screen, you can make an L-shaped incision in the corner that is hardly noticable.
Pack a small bowl, one that you are confident you can completely burn to ash in one inhalation. This is the most important part. No smoke should leak out after you inhale.
Take your hoot, hold it... Exhale through the straw. Zero smoke gets in the room.
If you don't have a suitable window, you can make one of those dryer-sheet tube things and use that instead. Everyone says those things don't work, and that's because they are using it wrong. It works *amazingly well*, but only if all the smoke in the room passes through the dryer sheet.
Commonly, people don't realize this and either (a) let unadulterated smoke leak into the room from their still-burning, too-big bowl, or (b) carelessly exhale into the tube, letting smoke leak out the sides, and forgetting to completely empty their lungs of smoke before they toss the thing aside, then breathe out the remainder of the smoke unwittingly as they say "those fucking things never work anyway."
Not much else really works.
-Incense just makes it more suspicious, and usually it smells like weed and incense anyway
-Febreze after smoking just smells like Febreze with weed.
-Towel under the door does nothing unless you plan on staying in the bathroom for an hour.
Everyone else already raised the issue of being honest with these people, which is absolutely the best option if it won't cause too much trouble for you. Regardless of how well you hide the smoke, it sucks to try and look not stoned around people that aren't supposed to know you're stoned.

I get much more stoned off eating it (I mean cooking it you know... In a cake .. instead of using margerine I use oil mixed with ganja)
Takes about 5 mins to make and then 40 mins to bake.
after that that 1/16 gets me soooooo much more stoned for sooooo much longer.
