Is it good for cigarette smoke?

As I do not smoke, I am uncertain on the practical application. On this, all I know is the info provided by the retailer that the pre-filter does, in fact, eliminate or decrease odors. The permanent Hepa filter does clean the air. From my experience, it does make the air a lot more "crisp," a cleaner feeling. If it does this with regular air, I'd imagine that it would vastly decrease the smoke from cigarettes, perhaps not all of it, but a good amount. Hope this helps.

I have no smokers in the house so I cannot say for sure. The Honeywell is very efficient even on the lowest setting. I love it, it refreshes the whole room.

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.

absolutely, it purifies air to a greater extent- smoke, cooking smell, etc.

It will help, but you will have to run it at a higher speed and replace prefilters more often. Best bet is to purchase a larger machine for the room. Technically it will filter the particulate matter from cigarettes, since the device was developed as a Class II medical device, but this is the retail model.

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.

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.

This is a very useful piece of equipment and I use it frequently. When you are smoking you blow into it to keep from smelling up your house or apartment. It really works

No, I found that the smoke is minimal and really caused no problem. I enjoy using mine.

I'm not definite about cigarette smoke (I've never tried it), but i DO know it got disgusting fish oil supplement smell instantly out of my clothes as well as my friend's dog bed odor and her son's foot smell out of the room :-)....so.... I guess your chances are good!!!

I am allergic to smoke and I keep it near my wood burning fireplace to remove smoke odors while I have a fire burning. It works very well at removing smoke odors.

Not really. It's designed to remove allergens. The air goes into the purifier and heats up to 400 degrees to kill spores, bacteria other living organisms. It won't filter smoke.

I seriously doubt it will work for you. I had a tough time even making cigarettes with regular tobacco. If you plan on making your own for a long time. I highly recommend you get one of the better ones available here. I started with this particular machine. I did not last one day messing with it. Just my humble opinion.

I don't smoke, but it really does a good job cleaning out dust from the air (I live next to a road, and the road dust is bad). I think you will be happy with it. You might just need to change filters more often

I've successfully used them to filter out other "herbal smoke" but I can't say anything about cigarette smoke seeing as I've never tried it. But if you're looking to filter anything that's legal in colorado, it should work pretty well. Activated charcoal filters out everything

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

It seems to do a pretty good job at removing many odors... My guess is going to be the key to cigarette smoke is go ahead and buy two extra Hepa filters and wash the charcoal reusable pre filter once a week for the first month or so. Then next how big is the room? You may need to move it around if you have multiple rooms or they are broken up.

No experience with such things, but seriously doubt that anything but a 'clean room' at medical or manufacturing facility could clean the sorry fumes of burning tobacco. Ask your smoking neighbors to move, or consider the same for yourself.

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.

I am sorry but I don't have cigarette smokers in my house. I can tell you that it seems to help with cooking odors, if that helps at all. My other suggestion is that if you get it, please clean it on a regular basis. Cleaning is easy, I waited too long because I thought it would be hard.

We bought this to use on our 'smoking' porch. (An enclosed 12x12 sun room.) We keep it on low pretty much all the time and it does great. We don't smoke cigars but it handles the cigarette odor quite well. Again, keep in mind we keep it on the lowest setting. The filters are easy to remove and clean.
