WIll this filter out cigarette smoke?

Here is an answer directly from 3M:From 3mFor light exposure to cigarette smoke, 3M has suggested a disposable N95 or P95 respirator with nuisance level organic vapor relief. This would provide some temporary relief from cigarette smoke, without being overly obtrusive. For better protection from the particulates, a P100 could also be used on a half-mask.

I would think so. While wearing these filters, I cannot smell smoke or paint fumes while working with and grinding metal etc.

No, it's the most basic filter you can imagine. Very low power and will only help with small spaces with large dust particles. Don't waste your money.

Yes, but make sure the door to the room is closed for the unit to work best, and that the room is not too big for the unit's capacity. Also, while this unit will help eliminate smoke particles from the air, it may not help that much with the smoke smell for reasons stated by T. Koo.

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

We have no smokers in the house but we have up to 5 dogs depending on what day of the week it is. The filter does help with doggie odor somewhat. I do know that people with asthma problems seem to be helped.

I think so. One side is black (the side shown in the photo) and turns grayish whitish from dust, etc. as it filters the air that passes through it, as long as you insert the filter in the appropriate direction.

None, you must choose the type of filters based on your specific ned, such as dust, organic vapors, etc.

It does reduce cigarette smoke a bit. However; I would suggest the best method to deal with lingering smoke odors is using a duct cleaning service every other year and shampooing carpets.

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 smoke Marlboro but I believe that it is possible to use the filter for slim cigarettes

It's not extremely dusty here, but I would imagine that it will - it sucks in quite a bit of air. You would need to clean the filter a LOT more often.

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.

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 don't think this would be a good filter for paint fumes or smoke, I use this for work daily to protect me from drywall dust when we sand. Sometimes we are sanding and the next unit over the painters are painting and I can smell a slight hint of paint

It did NOT help with cigarette smoke at all, so I'm sure it won't get rid of the cigar smoke either.

No, Patty, they are filters that you use on the end of your cigarettes that filter out some of the tar and nicotine which reduces the size of the addiction when you actually quit.

According to the Mayo Clinic, most air filters will not help with cigarette smoke because the biggest problem with cigarette smoke is the guess that's emitted, not the particles. Purepal AG800 or the Purepal AG950 are two filters that are designed to deal with cigarette smoke gas and Amazon sells them. For more info, Google search this phrase using the quotes... "Air filter cigarette smoke gas". Hope this helps.
