Doesn't the lit substance that you are smoking create an odor and smoke of its own? How does this product help with that?

Of course the lit substance will smell. I am sure this cuts down on the smell of the exhale.

You can use a pinch hitter, or a pipe with a cap on the bowl. Cap the lit substance with a lighter just before you finish your hit and it's possible to completely prevent odor.

yes it does but the smoke buddy helps to cut down on the 2nd hand smoked that is normally inhaled but others

Its basically a filter. When smoking you exhale thru the smoke buddy and it filters the air making the exhale virtually clean. Cant see or smell smoke exhaled thru the smoke buddy. It works suprisenly well in my opinion.

I find it works best using chips in combination with some small chunks. The smoke seems to last longer that way.

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 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

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

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.

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!

Sara, I have used ZEP for the past few years as a quick way to freshen up the car or a bedroom from smoking odors. It will neutralize the smell of tobacco that is in the air, via a chemical reaction (more than just masking with a scent). However, this product will not remove smoking odor that has become saturated into fabric such as carpet, or drywall material. The only effective method to extract impregnated odors is by using a high quality ozone generator (over 3000 mg/h). For the price ($89.), this unit: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007GS3T8O/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=KTA1084TTDPH&coliid=I18A6OYCZC1QV9 does an exceptional job. You will need a good room fan, and you must leave the house for 4 hours or more because ozone is toxic at this level. However, it dissipates quickly when the doors are opened, and it's safe after a few minutes of exposure to open air. Restoration contractors use these types of ozone generators to remove smoke odors after fire damage, smells after flooding, mold (including toxic molds), and the stench caused by just about any other rotting substance. And hotels use them to get rid of tobacco smoke. A good ozone generator will absolutely remove the odor of 4 years of constant smoking in a closed room. There isn't any kind of spray in a can that will do it. I hope this helps you.

It does. I have a neighbor that smokes...if I smell it I turn the fan to high and the smell goes away quickly. I used to be a heavy smoker, If you or a family member is a smoker I would keep it running all the time on medium or high, it would help a lot with keeping the smell out of upholstery, furniture clothes etc. have not tested this though.

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.

We use this at least once a week and have never smelled any fumes. As a reformed smoker my sense of smell has tripled and I never detect anything.

It hides the smoke and smell.when you smoke, before you exhale, put your mouth on the small hole and exhale. You can't see the smoke come out the other end and it won't smell like anything. Make sure the caps are off both ends though.

Honestly, I don't think this will work if you leave the window open with smoke entering. I believe it would smell like Febreeze cigarettes. This works best in a small area or a very open area like a living room. I do not recommend this for what you're looking for. Hope this helps

I don't have experience with the second hand smoke but it effectively eliminated the smell of cat urine that permeated our basement from the previous owners 4 cats. It also gives a clean ozone smell - like after a spring rain. Great product!

It should, yes. It effects all the molecules it interacts with like the smelly chemicals associated with litter pan odors, cooking odors, and probably cigarettes.
