- A common tool known as a sploof—a cardboard tube stuffed with dryer sheets—traps the pungent smoke when a user exhales into it. While the sploof doesn't completely eliminate incriminating odors, it reduces them significantly.
- 2015 May 4, Randall Scott, “Chapter Four - Getting Started”, in The Complete Guide to Cannabis[2], Randall Scott:
- -If you're in a place where it's frowned upon to vape/smoke, I recommend using a sploof, covering the bowl, opening a window. Also, Light incense. They are honestly the best thing for a smoker. They fill the room with a strong scent, covering up any dank smell preexisting.

- She'd flown out from the East Coast alone, and her only contributions to our joint housekeeping were blackout curtains, an elephant-shaped bong she bought on Telegraph, and something she called a sploof—made out of a paper towel roll, stuffed with dryer sheets—that she breathed into to minimize the pot smell. (We called the sploof Laura Ingalls, because its towel cap, secured by a rubber band, looked like a bonnet.)

- It's like being back in college (that "sploof" tube) dryer sheets stuffed into the end of a cardboard tube softening the odors, or so we thought as we wrinkled our noses at the dankness of it all hidden somewhere in the bathroom cabinet always ready to mask the smell so no one knows you smoke weed.

- We were on our third episode already. The air smelled of weed, but only a little, thanks to Cara's well-made and well-used sploof. We were sitting on the couch—well, "sitting" might've been a little strong. We were slouched deep into the cushions, our bodies more like gelatin than anything else.
