I don't even smoke and mine turns almost black after 6 months. My total cost using the day method for almost 8 years is about 30 bucks

Smoking in the car almost have no effect on the cabin filter unless you run recirculate all the time. Even then, the smoke doesn't get that much from the passenger side.

Also, the cabin filter is supposed to be changed every 10k miles or 1 year.
