After a bunch of soldering, my throat hurts so I figured it's time to stop breathing the fumes. The big question is, do these "fume absorbers" really absorb anything:

Or would I be just as well off with a small box fan gently blowing the smoke away from me? I work in a home office so I like the idea of absorbing the fumes instead of just blowing them around the house for my family to breathe, but the filters look like simple sponge and I'm having a hard time believing that they actually absorb anything?
