How does this do with cigarette smoke odors?

I'm a photographer, and I smoke in my studio. Models always come in and exclaim, "You SMOKE in here? I can't even smell it!" I smile, and ask them what they do smell. Their answers are always some part of the ingredients in Fresh Wave. I love this product: it's in my entryway; my office; all my bathrooms; on my stairwell; my hallways; the armoire; closets; bedrooms; kitchen; living room; dining room. For each space, I select an appropriate-sized container. These are all the spaces where I photograph models, and no one has ever reported an unpleasant odor - and I do ask. Replace each month. It's a wonder, for keeping everything fresh and without offense. ~ Louise I'm a photographer, and I smoke in my studio. Models always come in and exclaim, "You SMOKE in here? I can't even smell it!"

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.

Yes it works with cigarette smoke. Unfortunately it is a very noticeable fan noise.

Not much of an odor at all. This stuff worked perfectly. Smoke smell is gone from my car.

It does an excellent job of removing smoke; however, over time nicotine being removed from the air accumulates on the filters which causes the smell to never completely go away simply because air is being drawn through nicotine saturated filters and then expelled back into the air. A frequent change of filters will help keep the cigarette odor to a minimum. In an effort to save money, I have been known to put the filters in the bathtub, saturate them with Awesome Cleaner, let them set for a few minutes and then rinse them with the extended shower-head. The nicotine literally pours out of the filters. I let them dry for a few days and put them back into the enclosure. They're almost as good as new.

yes it does but you still need towash then once in awhile LOL I spray it in my shoes also . the ones you can't wash I have put a little in my hair also to get rid of cigarete order. I used to smoke in inside my house and my sister who had stopped smoking was always bugging me about the smell so I sparyed it on my furniture and in the air all thru my house . when she came in couldn't smell the cigerete odor ask me if I quit .

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 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.

Even good home air cleaners like these are only going to be moderately effective when used in a very smokey environment. They will, to some extent, re-radiate whatever they have been filtering. Tobacco smoke is particularly difficult to remove as it permeates all surfaces and absorbent material like clothing, upholstery, drapes etc.

I have only used on cigarette smoke. It did the trick but after a period of a couple months the smoky smell is back although not as strong.

It killing cigarette odor and mold and dust! I able to sleep now. Don't think epa would allow an ozone machine. You don't run it while in the same room. Tried for 3 years to get rid of cig odor ! Think I've found the solution !

I added a washable carbon filter to this, which fits perfectly in front of the filter it comes with, and it has made a huge difference in the tobacco smoke odor both in our living room and my adult daughter's bedroom. It takes a little longer if there is more than one smoker in the house, but definitely helps. I'm buying another to put in our bedroom.

I'm an x smoker and this question is a great one. Unfortunately this won't work for deleting the cigarette smoke or smell. You would have to have it up to your face and carry it around with you when you smoked. For it to work it has to be almost directly infront of the sorce. Its not made for what you're looking for, not a lot of things are. Trust me, I've been through what you're going through and know. Good luck.

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!

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)

It would certainly help, I use this in a musty basement and it helps quit a bit. I smoked for many years and used Ozium spray to help with the odor in the car. The spray might actually work better in the car. Nothing ever completely gets rid of smoke odor but this can help.
