We have found it to be a great purchase!! It does a wonderful job of removing smoke! We actually have it running almost constantly... And it helps a lot in cutting down dust in our home!

Good question. I don't smoke and don't have any visitors that smoke either, but from everything I've seen it should help a *lot*. Of course realize that the smoke particles will plate out on your floor, walls and furniture as they are pulled out of the air. I doubt you'd find any air purifier that would do a *better* job with cigarette smoke. (it would be interesting to compare it to an air filter though)

I don't smoke . I've heard others who do say they're happy with it. It has a very effective ozone generator. People in the room I have it in come in my room and their clothes smell as If they had them hanging out doors.

For me, it completely gets rid of the cigarette smoke in my closet coming from a neighbors who is a chronic smoker on the first floor. I live on the third floor and the smoke permeates the entire building, including the units on the opposite side of the building. I was afraid I would have to use the ozone feature, but surprisingly, I use every feature but the ozone 24/7 and it works beautifully. I do use the ozone feature, periodically, but I seal off the door with duct tape while I run it for a day, and then turn it off when I go to bed. It seems to keep moths out of my closet, too. I plan on purchasing another unit for my main living area. For me, it completely gets rid of the cigarette smoke in my closet coming from a neighbors who is a chronic smoker on the first floor.

It will reduce the smell but not all of it. You will still smell cigar. It is not a good idea to smoke cigar in the room.

I am not sure. We use it in the room with our guinea pigs. My mom used it for a dead mouse smell and it helped with that offensive odor so I would think it would help with cigarette odor.

Hi! I use this product and their aerosol spray product to deodorize the lingering smell of smoke from cigarettes. That is a pretty rough scent to clear and if it works well on that, I would guess it would work for your problem also. I've tried lots of problems and this works the best along with the spray.

It does an excellent job of removing smoke; however, over time nicotine being removed from the air accumulates on the filters which causes the smell to never completely go away simply because air is being drawn through nicotine saturated filters and then expelled back into the air. A frequent change of filters will help keep the cigarette odor to a minimum. In an effort to save money, I have been known to put the filters in the bathtub, saturate them with Awesome Cleaner, let them set for a few minutes and then rinse them with the extended shower-head. The nicotine literally pours out of the filters. I let them dry for a few days and put them back into the enclosure. They're almost as good as new.

Probably not very good. It picks up cigarette ash and very small cookie crumbs. I've used it to clean out my silverware drawer and kitchen table of spilled salt and small cracker crumbs. It doesn't pick up hair very good. It's also got a very small holding chamber. I suggest getting one and trying it in your car. If it doesn't work there you haven't lost any money because it will work great in your kitchen or computer room.

If you meant "bad" smoking smell, I would say "yes" it works to eradicate smoking smell from the air. My father smokes and unless I'm right in his presence when he's doing it, I don't smell it. I would say "yes." In general, yes, it works well for that. Pet smells, too, by the way. I have a dog, it doesn't smell in her room. Cuts down on the dust all through the (small) house. I'm glad I invested in one!

A number of years ago I used it on a mattress from a smoker's home. It took out the smoke smell right away.

I personally have not used it in an indoor situation but a friend of ours used it to remove a smoke smell from and jacket and he said it worked. Hope this helps.

It absolutely does NOT work for cigarette smoke. The room I use it in occasionally has secondhand smoke from the neighbors and this machine will not remove the odor. At best you can hope it will pick up a little stray smoke particles if the smoke is particularly thick. You will need to buy a true HEPA air purifier with a dedicated filter with lots of activated carbon (I think charcoal is one option). This product is not true HEPA - it's just a cheap alternative since you don't need to buy disposable filters every few months.

2 would work better than one and this would help. For smoke though, I'd recommend Odoban. It's more expensive but more effective for heavy smoke smell.

It will take the smoke Smell away. But it is not a fresh scent in my opinion. Will not make it smell Normal for a little while and you have to open your windows To let the fresh air in.

Good Morning, I show the Room coverage up to 100 sq ft. The manufacturer says it cleans allergens like pollen, smoke and dust. Thank you

I don't smoke and there are no smokers in my home or office so I can't give you an answer. It has taken care of dust in my office and home.

This would suck the smoke off of your mouth and filter it to clean enough quality to be safe to breathe. Its only about 16" tall in total high however and might be difficult to attach to your window.
