Will this absorb cigarette smoke from rooms?

It might, but since I am not a smoker I really couldn't tell you. I use it only for my fish tank!

I use this product for my cat's water fountain. I don't know if it will work for your deodorizing purpose.

Probably, but it would be very messy. These charcoal chips have a lot of black dust and leave black streaks on things. I use it for my fish tank filtration, however I have heard from many sources that for removing odors, charcoal is fantastic. I would recommend using charcoal pellets or sticks instead of chips. These are more economical than the chips, are produced by a wide range of manufactures and you can put them in a variety of containers. Just look under aquarium filtration for the charcoal pellets and sticks. Hope this helps.

Honestly not sure. As long as you blow smoke thru it. Hides the odor and smoke as long as you dont blow hard.

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!

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.

yes for the most part, it reduces the immediate smell and gets the smell out of the air faster if its in the area of the smoke

Smoke detectors: Yes, but it takes ALOT of smoke to cause that, have fans circulating air in the room and it will help it keep from building up. No to the sticky residue, that mostly depends upon the solution you are using. Stick with the recommended fog and you should be fine, same for food.

This is a handheld filter that eliminates 99% of odor that passes through it. So if you wanted to smoke something and did not want anybody to notice smoke or even scent of smoke you would exhale through this. I use it when staying in hotel rooms so I can smoke pot without upsetting the smoke detector or others.

I would doubt it; this is not an industrial unit. However, in the room that my wife smokes in this unit does a great job of neutralizing the smells associated with cigs.

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.

Yes. Does not matter where the smoke comes from, will clean any any smells that get sucked into the machine.

The simple answer is, "Yes", but it may not do so SUFFICIENTLY for your issue. Trust me, I understand your problem! But it's a SMALL unit, and may not have the capacity, depending on how bad your smoke-intrusion issue is. If 80% of the structure is smoke-tainted, I'd look at something bigger, truthfully.

Nothing will remove smoke completely. This machine though is as good as it gets with three filters. I have owned several different brands and none have proven to work any better no matter what the cost.

I think it might block the bulk of it, but over time I think the smoke would get through.

Not really. Even when covered it still makes smoke. My solution is to use it just under my kitchen exhaust and then I don't have smoke problems.

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.

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.

I honestly don't know. ...We are non-smokers. It's worth a try though! But cigarette smoke gets into eeeeverything...carpet, curtains, furniture, clothes. Thus, it may help with filtering the air a bit but depending on where the smoke smell has accumulated, it may be a losing battle.
