I know that very considerable research has been conducted into smoke hoods on and off over the years. It appears odd to me that it has never been adopted or approved for service.
Even the basic ones have achieved up to 10 minutes survival times in tests.
Though clearly only valid for smoke and toxic fumes, though not likely to help much with full on fire.
Be lucky
