how about bed smoking smell? Is it working for this?

Not sure - my bed doesn't smoke. Joking aside, i found this to be the most over priced useless air cleaner. I knew it really didn't do as claimed when i watched dust moving in the air in the sunlight - it would waft gently near the purifyer and hover by it without being sucked in when it was running full force. Them the dust would move I, never entering the machine. It's a great table.

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!

Irina, I don't smoke, however when I have patio parties at my house I have friends that smoke out side and some times the smell comes in the house and the Austin Air takes it out, I do however have two dogs and the air is clean. both the dogs and I have allergy and it helps for that, you need to keep it on and in a area that works for the whole house.Hope this helpsPatricia

This model will do a very good job with bad smoking smells. We have had several customers purchase them specifically for that reason. The Healthmate unit shown here is a nice well rounded unit that includes 15lbs of carbon in the filter. The carbon is what does the best job at reducing smoke smells in the air, and this unit has as much carbon in the filter as any of the other Austin Air models.

Don't know about tobacco odor as there is no smoking in our house, but if someone passes gas the fan cranks up to high in a matter of seconds :)

We don't smoke, but it isn't meant to eliminate odors. Yes, the fan is definitely audible (but not distracting) and gets louder the higher you turn it up. It doesn't bother me when I sleep because it is "white" noise.

I recall the smell. It did not last very long at all. We bought ours in the late fall. The weather precluded opening the windows. So we didn't have to air out the bedroom to eliminate the smell.

Yes it does, for the smoke smell. Obviously if you have something dank lying around you will still be able to smell that.

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 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.

Unlike a "vent," this wouldn't remove the smoke from the kitchen or filter out cooking smells; it would just move the smoke to another part of the room. Probably not what you have in mind.

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 bought this specifically because there was a smoker in the apt. Below us who smoked so much you would think the smoker lived with us. It helped a lot but there were still moments you could smell traces. And it only covered the area the box specified. I donit know if it would be as effective in a smoker's home. I also cleaned mine more often, by choice, to keep tar from building up.

I think it will. It will gradually reduce the smell of the smoke, but you have to quit smoking first (at least inside the car) :) You might want to use febreze first.

I don't smoke but my brother does.when he visits it seems to control the smoke well.and a few hours after he is gone the odor seems to be totally gone.I don't know more than that but I hope that helps.

It does reduce cigarette smoke a bit. However; I would suggest the best method to deal with lingering smoke odors is using a duct cleaning service every other year and shampooing carpets.

we placed a room package and we leave it in place for about a month, then let it set in tye sun for the day and then place it back in the room. (we have 2 small dogs) and we have no oder. although we do not smoke, i would give it a try. prior to using this method, we used other types that did not do the job.

I've tried it for mild cigarette odor and it worked well. I would imagine it would work for a heavier smoke odor also.

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.

I think using coffee soap would help, but I don't believe it would fully get rid of the smoke odor.
