I am not sure about smoke odors, it does however clean plastics exceptionally well. It does have a pleasant smell too.

You must be joking right??? Smoke can't penetrate plastic it can only get in the carpet and fabric seats and maybe the head liner

I am a smoker so its hard for me to say. But it does get rid of urine odors from cats, which I believe is worse that cigarette smells. Also if you spray it in the trash it vanishes andy odors from there. Hope this helps

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.

We used ours last summer driving through areas of smoke from fires in our crew cab pickup. My husband has asthma and is very sensitive to smoke and it worked great. It also works for pet odors or fumes from traffic. We were very pleased with it and the price was good.

I do it a lot- I don't know but I've never ever had a problem. It will definitely take away all odors. I wouldn't be without one.

I bought it specifically for that. I have been bunking with a chain smoker who doesn't like open windows and MY doctor was hollering because my health was getting worse. I've had the purifier for about a week, and even without the optional odor reducing filter, the difference has been tremendous. Nothing eliminates the smell from chain smoking completely, of course, but it's still been a noticeable improvement - I've stopped coughing.

i'm not sure. we use this in the shoe closet to neutralize and as well as near pet areas. smoke smell is often absorbed into fabrics of clothes or furniture, i do not believe it could help with that. perhaps an air cleaner that filters the air and circulates cleaner air in the room? we have one and it works well, especially when cooking.

I has worked for me, if you scrub it in good with a broom or stiff brush, is pretty good to remove odor too.

No, in order for any air purifier to reduce odors it has to have a charcoal filter which this one does not have. You can buy an inexpensive charcoal filter at Home Depot or Lowes and cut it down to size. This air purifier has been a life saver, trust me I've tried them all

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.

Patrick, Actually, I purchased the bare bones ozone generator. I haven't had the opportunity to use it to remove cigarette smoke but it did a fine job removing several other odors. The instruction sheet that came with the unit gives a basic guideline as to its use but some experimentation is required. I would suggest that you start slowly, maybe an hour, and check the results. Times will vary depending on the subject's size. Be sure to read the instructions regarding healthy use.

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.

Jason I did not use it in a room. I used it in my new to me "certified used" GMC Arcadia. There was an annoying cigarette smell and I have a nose like a hawk. I used one tablet (according to directions) and it worked like a charm!

unfortunately, no. this isn't an air freshner but a personal purifier. I'll tell you what it does help with. My co-worker is a HEAVY smoker and when she comes back from her smoke break, this purifier helps me to not smell the tobacco that lingers on her. It helps when someone wears too much perfume too.

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 wish I knew. I stopped using this product actually, because it didn't really assist with my smoking stench.

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.
