I already tried it and fans barely move any air through the filter and merv13 is only rated to capture "oily smoke" and barely. A box fan moves almost no air through an actual smoke rated fiter.
The industry standard for merv13 is to capture less than 75% of 1 to 0.3 micron particles per pass. That doesn't describe a smoke capturing filter very well.
Works about like using a cloth mask to stop covid. It can be shown to work in useless tests designed to show a positive result.
Also people aren't supposed to run the air conditoner during poor air quality.
