I bought a respirator at Home Depot. Probably not the same as a re-breather,
but it makes a very noticable difference. The one I bought is good for dust
and paint fumes, and it does work. I've used it for sandblasting, rust
removal, body work, and painting. For about $30, you can protect your lungs.
They are far supior to a paper dust mask. If you can taste the air, your
hurting yourself. Just an inexpensive idea to help you out.
