Does it help with smoke odor?
1447272
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 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.

Not really. It's designed to remove allergens. The air goes into the purifier and heats up to 400 degrees to kill spores, bacteria other living organisms. It won't filter smoke.

Yes it will helps with the smell dramatically. The cloths of the smoker will still smell but the lingering smell in the air will disappear.

I am using the fan for woodburning pyrography and it works beautifully. I try to keep the fan as close to the work as possible and it removes quite a bit of the smoke and odor, not all but quite a bit. I used to stink up the whole room, now much less.

It has helped me with second hand smoke. It was the only reason I purchased it, to try it out. I'm impressed and will be buying more. Hope I answered your question.

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.

This unit can help to remove cigarette smoke when paired with its HEPA-Odorcell filter. We would recommend to purchase these together so you will have the best option to help remove the lingering odor. Keep in mind, these units will only work in the space that they are in. We recommend that when you receive your unit, take out the basic filter that comes with the unit and put in the HEPA-Odorcell and turn the unit on high for a couple of hours to allow max air flow. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thank you for choosing Alen as your clean air provider and have a great day.

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.

Depends on the space in which you want smoke odor from. I use it in one bedroom where it works well within that space.

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

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!

A number of years ago I used it on a mattress from a smoker's home. It took out the smoke smell right away.

Ozium is not a long term answer for your situation. It won't remove smoke odor from walls, etc. It is a great product for removing odors when they are there (preventing them from sticking to walls). Hope this helps!

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.
