Does anyone have experience using this for cigar smoke. I have a home office where I smoke cigars everyday and need a better solution to smoke odor

The old IQ Air GC MultiGas does not remove odors. I can't speak to the newer model, but I suspect its no better.

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.

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.

I have had great results with Nok-Out but I haven't had occasion to use it with smoke odor. I found some details re tobacco/smoke odor on the Nok-Out site and maybe that might help. http://www.nokout.com/Tobacco-and-Smoke-Odor.html There are suggestions listed in the main text and more in the column on the left side of the page. It might depend on a number of factors....like the type of fiber in the cloth and the intensity of the smoke. Best of luck!

This could help, but when I moved into a house where the former owner had used lots of candles, I used fresh ground coffee to help absorb the odors. It took a few months, but it did work in the end. I have used the Moso bags in a car where there was an air freshener and it was effective.

I know this is an older question, but in my opinion, it does very little to combat smoke stink. It helps a little - but will not solve the problem if you're smoking indoors... no matter what you're smoking.

Depends on the space in which you want smoke odor from. I use it in one bedroom where it works well within that space.

Hmmm That's interesting; it's always worked for me. Dumb question: did you fully close the humidor (i.e. create a full seal)? I can't really answer why it would do that; it's never done that for me. What sort of solution did you use: humidifier solution, distilled water or tap water? I've only used either humidified solution and distilled water, never tap water, which has pollutants. I'm not sure if that might've contributed. I am, by no means, an expert on humidification. Sorry I can't help more. By the way, my humidor stores 120 cigars, and I keep two of them in there.

It should work quite well. I put one of the packages in my SUV, on the floor next to the driver's seat. I do smoke, but there is much less of an odor in my truck now, after about a month, and I imagine the smell was stronger than what drifts into an apartment. It hasn't had to be set out in the sun to reactivate yet, but so far, I've used it to combat a urine smell from when my cat had a UTI and a few accidents, and then put it in my truck. My daughter says it makes a big difference. Hope that helps!

I had no trouble with smoking and strong smells. Did you take the plastic prongs off of the plug???? I used it Xmas eve, I have two of them, one for keeping a pasta dish warm and the other to saute seafood and had no unexpected results. I think they are great.

I cannot answer that. We do not smoke. I will say though, that it has worked wonderfully on removing the odor of my dogs from the house. I have six of them, so obviously that is a challenge. Good luck

We do not smoke but we have had dogs and it removes the dog smell. Plus we live in a rural area and there is a lot of skunks that get hit on the road near us. and this removes that odor as well. So i would imagine that it would remove smoke odor. Hope that helps.

I can't smell it, probably because I smoke so much. If you can then you either need to smoke more or stop smoking altogether. I am just thankfull it stops a lot of the tar from getting into my lungs. It was made to do that, not to smell good.

Some odors are harder to remove than others and stale [cigarette?] smoke is one of the hardest to eliminate but you're definitely on the right track! What really works to eliminate odors is the ozone emitting component of this air purifier and forget about charcoal and HEPA filtration. That said, this particular unit would probably do the job for you but it does not produce as much ozone as some of the other air purifiers which strictly rely on ozone to eliminate odors. I would go with one of the "ozone only" air purifiers; run it on high in UNOCCUPIED areas and moving it from room to room until the entire house has been treated. You might find you will need to re-treat some areas but depending on the length of time you run the purifier, it will eventually eliminate 100% of the odor - usually after one "treatment".

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.

Yes, I bought it specifically for my moms house. She quit smoking in the house and cleaned everything but it still smelled. This Kendal Ozone Ionizer worked great. The house has no smoke odor at all.

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)
