Would this work with cigarette smoke. I cant get a family member to quit and I don't want to breathe their carcinogenic smoke

Yes this will be more than adequate for that purpose, likely overkill. You may want to look at a P100 particulate filter only, which is rated at 99.97% efficient at 0.3 micron particle/aerosol diameter and is also rated for oil aerosols. The filter you selected is rated to this level and contains additional filtration mechanisms to capture organic vapors and gasses etc...

No, I would disagree with jlk2k4. It's not overkill. If you look at ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3084482/table/t1-ijerph-08-00613/ ) for list of cigarette smoke ingredients, some of them require an ammonia filter. However, some compounds you just can't filter out and require a "supplied air" unit (think old school submarine suit with oxygen fed through a tube). So unless you can afford a SA unit, model 60926 is probably your best bet. Note: I'm not an expert, but extensively researched this myself as I'm purchasing a mask for the same purposes.

I quit smoking a few years ago. If I did, I would smoke outside. The odor meter seems sensitive when I cook, so I think it would spike up, I'm not sure about deodorizing the air though. I think it would clean it of some particles, but perhaps not eliminate how stinky cig smoke is. I heard the Vapor cigs don't stink. Overall I like the product for pet dander and dust. The fan noise is soothing...The machine would be better than no machine if I/someone was smoking indoors. I hope you don't have loved ones who don't smoke living in your house or pets. Sorry to be a ninny. Maybe you're smoking fish: yes, I betcha after a while it would help with the smoked fish odor. I quit smoking a few years ago. If I did, I would smoke outside.

I would not recommend this for that type of smoking. It's designed for a cold smoke rather than a hot smoke. Flavor, not cooking.

I've never used it for that purpose. It has a charcoal filter which sits on top of the HEPA filter. It does remove odors fairly well and I've set it up in the kitchen when I've burned something to remove the odor. It did a good job of that in my opinion. Cigarette smoke is different in some ways but I think this would probably help. With cigarette smoke you have tars and other substances which cling to furnishings and surfaces which would have to be cleaned in addition to filtering the air.

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

Yes it produces smoke. It's a smoker. You are not violating any local ordinances by using a smoker. Your neighbors need to quit complaining.

We cannot Answer this question directly, because, We do not Smoke in this House any Longer. The Quality of the Air with regards to Ion's & Molecules in the Air & Purifying does Seem Better. The Best Solution would be to turn one Small area or a room into a smoke area & begin testing the Product in this One Area or Room. All Smoke REGARDLESS is HARMFUL Period. Smoke coming INTO the Body or Around the Body is very Harmful to the Lungs & Skin of a HUMAN Being. Sincerely, CPT Scott.

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!

I have never had cigarette smoke in my household, but seeing as it helps with food cooking odors I would think it would help with smoke odors.

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 has to be plugged in....probably would work if you blow the smoke into it

We do not allow smoking in the house, therefore we have not tested it against this capability. I can check the instruction manual tonight but my recollection is that it will not. I hope that helped.

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.

Should not be an issue. As long as the heat is coming from the bottom of the smoker, it should work great.

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 don't see why not, but I say that based on the tea I steeped in my cup that cooled off.This tea is very herbal, soothing, & tastes better hot.I think of it as medicinal, a nice way to soothe the "feen"of wanting to smoke.The statements on the box are positive aids toward the goal of quitting smoking.Albeit, statements have not be evaluated by the FDA.The package suggests finding them on Facebook: www.facebook.com/QuitTea,or Twitter: @QuitTeaThe Best to you... ;o)
