does it remove smoke

Yes, It works vey well, but I would recommend the optional charcoal filter that you can purchase on your own. I think they are around $16. for a pack of 2.

I've never used it for that purpose. It has a charcoal filter which sits on top of the HEPA filter. It does remove odors fairly well and I've set it up in the kitchen when I've burned something to remove the odor. It did a good job of that in my opinion. Cigarette smoke is different in some ways but I think this would probably help. With cigarette smoke you have tars and other substances which cling to furnishings and surfaces which would have to be cleaned in addition to filtering the air.

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 don't have experience with the second hand smoke but it effectively eliminated the smell of cat urine that permeated our basement from the previous owners 4 cats. It also gives a clean ozone smell - like after a spring rain. Great product!

This unit will not clean smoke from the air as it is not a TRUE HEPA filter. I sent the Hamilton Beach back and bought this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VGIGVY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

yes it does but you still need towash then once in awhile LOL I spray it in my shoes also . the ones you can't wash I have put a little in my hair also to get rid of cigarete order. I used to smoke in inside my house and my sister who had stopped smoking was always bugging me about the smell so I sparyed it on my furniture and in the air all thru my house . when she came in couldn't smell the cigerete odor ask me if I quit .

It will not completely remove the 'smell' from cigarettes. You would need something that absorbs the moisture and smell out, a Honeywell alone will not do it. Hope this helps.

Works on stains but have no idea about smoke odors. Smoke odors are tough to remove from anything!

It'll scrub the air including cigarette smoke; the charcoal filter eliminates odor and ionizer freshens air. So yes this unit will help with cigarette smoke. However any smoke gets embedded into furniture uphostery; etc; is another story.

No, smoke would still be coming off the cigarette. Unless he uses it with his head and his hands out the window. An air cleaning machine, designed to clear smoke from the air, may help. They used to sell smokeless ashtrays, I hope this helps!

Yes it will helps with the smell dramatically. The cloths of the smoker will still smell but the lingering smell in the air will disappear.

No. It just works. And it does. I bought a car where the previous owner was a smoker and it worked great clearing out the lingering odor.

In my experience, no ionizer can FULLY eliminate that kind of smoke (I am also extremely sensitive to it). However, if the smoke smell is very fresh, it might help quite a bit to clear it up and prevent it from becoming permanent, although it may not fully take care of it. If you are trying to remove the odor from an item or a piece of furniture that has had long-term exposure, it will give only minor relief, although it can help a little under those circumstances. Depending on what you are trying to air out, you might benefit more fully from a full-sized ionizer, although this personal unit comes in handy in areas where you need it to be very portable, and/or you are unable to connect to AC power. (I like having both, according to the needs and circumstances of the moment.)

yes it does but the smoke buddy helps to cut down on the 2nd hand smoked that is normally inhaled but others

No, it doesn't produce smoke. Make sure that you only buy/use the Ventless Fireplace Fuel NOT the gel cans. Amazon shows the firebowl matched with the gel cans and it's incorrect, they will not work correctly. You must use Ventless Fireplace Fuel only.

I hear you...I wish it took care of cig smoke. This air filter does not take odor out of the air. But it does help you breathe better.

It does not indicate in the specifications, however it does have a HEPA filter which will help eliminate the toxins from smoke.
