Smoke Hoods

I would like to buy a smoke hood for use as a passenger on commercial flights. These devices do not seem to be common, but potential vendors are:

Draeger (Parat C)
MSA Safety Hood
Purify Air 30M

None include oxygen generators (which I assume would not be allowed, though I have used them for work offshore), all provide a full face hood and filter carbon monoxide. Can anyone advise:

- Whether these products are allowed in hand baggage on commercial aircraft?
- Where this is written down?
- Any comparison reports on the effectiveness of these products?
- Any comments on the practicality of such devices?
