Everyone I live with smokes in-doors.
My sister is pregnant, smokes, probably drinks.
My mom smokes, my sister's boyfriend smokes, my grandmother smokes.
They smoke in the bathroom of all places, and we have one bathroom so the smell is always there.
Thoughts and advice? (They ignore my suggestions to smoke outside, and making a bigger deal out of it will start an argument, I've done it before and no change has happened)
Move On Out Brother
If you haven't already done it
In your room install a draught excluder around your door
D profile soft rubber draught excluder
E profile soft rubber draught excluder
V profile - This ones for finer crevices
Then theres the rolls or foam pads which slide neatly under the door and stay with it whether its open or closed
If your door frame is even and your door is even and all the surfaces are smooth clean and dry, you should be able to put a seal that works great in under a couple of hours tops.
best to measure the gaps around the door before you go buying draught excluders.
If you can afford it check out the classifieds for a handyman who is good at this.
In your room keep your window ajar and your radiator at a much lower temperature than the rest of the house.
This will keep the (clean) air in your room at a higher pressure than the air in the rest of the property.
Air Filters
If you can afford a hospital grade air filter you can afford to move out
If you can't okay. Get a good one. Replacing Filters probably won't be cheap.
If you have a well constructed air tight eal you won't need to run the filter so much.
Cook. Cooking is an inclusive, positive way to fill the property with good smells.
Bake some wholewheat bread (ridiculously easy) The smell of fresh bread is a great smell. Cook / Bake things with cumin rosemary chicken lemon and don't burn it.
Increase your vitamin c intake - and your vitamin b intake - and the amount of veg you take in.
Talk to your mom about electronic ciggarettes - buy her one for christmas - although... be prepared to duck and roll
You're gonna have your family in your life for a long time make it clear that you like them.
Bro. Your Sister. You Know What You Have To Do Bruv.

Work hard and smart at a decent paying, stable job.
Move out.
Anti-smoking campaigns were created by women and liberals as a ploy to emasculate white men in the 80's and 90's. The truth is that smoking cigarettes is perfectly healthy for you; it even increases your T-levels, which is responsible for your libido and muscle gain.
The problem isn't that you're surrounded by smokers, the problem is that you haven't joined them.

This sounds horrible, how do you even breathe indoors? No offense, but you are all going to have lung cancer if you keep this up.

I don't have the income for a job and can't get one because I'm on Social Security money. Talked with a vocational expert who couldn't find anything I could really do for long enough that I'd get paid enough.
Idk what to really do.
Yeah my sister is a problem but I tried talking to her about it. Not only did I get yelled at by my grandmother AND mother for trying to tell her to stop, but she got pissed as well. There is absolutely nothing I can do that isn't illegal, and taking the cigarettes away from her would just start a huge argument and they'd just take em back anyway.
They are very set in their ways and refuse to change at all. Even little things like "Hey it's hot in here, can I open a window?"
"DON'T OPEN THE WINDOWS!"
Then if I open the windows I get screamed at by everyone in the house.
So I asked them to please spray disinfectant in the ONE room they smoke, they can't even do that.
I don't have an income high enough, nor can I get a job that pays well enough for me to afford a living space.
There has been smoking in this house for decades and decades.

Quick question out of curiousity:How old are your grandparents and has any smoker in your family actually died young or young-ish from cancer?
Great grandmother who smoked for over 40 years quit, lived till she was 92.
