does this remove odors like smoke

I really don't know, however, the one I had only lasted about 1 month when it quit producing mist. There are alot of essential oils out there, so I'm sure you might be able to find something to mask the smoky odors.

Don't bother with this item. It stopped working after a month. It's been in the trash longer than I had it.

If you were to use the right oil I have no doubt it would help to a degree. Maybe Doterra purify or lemon.

I bought this specifically because there was a smoker in the apt. Below us who smoked so much you would think the smoker lived with us. It helped a lot but there were still moments you could smell traces. And it only covered the area the box specified. I donit know if it would be as effective in a smoker's home. I also cleaned mine more often, by choice, to keep tar from building up.

Don't know about pet odors. Purchased this for smoke odors which does a so-so elimination.

I don't know for sure - but I suspect it will. I don't smoke and bought it to help remove cat hair and odors. I think it works real well for the price you pay. I think you might be able to get it and if you didn't like it - return it. Hope this helps.

Hi, I bought this for cooking. This really works for preventing the smoke. But I don't think I will work for smells.

Yes it does reduce odors from other rooms here that drift into my room, such as cologne, plug-in air fresheners, aerosol air fresheners, kitchen odors. Even using the washable pre-filter instead of the charcoal one works, I believe the ionization helps to filter out odors.

It will remove smoke in the house; however, if the smoke has already settled into fabrics and furniture, it will take a while longer for the ions to work it out. More than one unit is best.

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

It will not completely remove the 'smell' from cigarettes. You would need something that absorbs the moisture and smell out, a Honeywell alone will not do it. Hope this helps.

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 .

All I can say is it removed 10 years of smoke smell from a couple of sleeping bags stored at grandmas. I would try it if I were you. Stop the wash machine part way into the wash cycle and let it soak for 1/2 hour.

In my experience, no ionizer can FULLY eliminate that kind of smoke (I am also extremely sensitive to it). However, if the smoke smell is very fresh, it might help quite a bit to clear it up and prevent it from becoming permanent, although it may not fully take care of it. If you are trying to remove the odor from an item or a piece of furniture that has had long-term exposure, it will give only minor relief, although it can help a little under those circumstances. Depending on what you are trying to air out, you might benefit more fully from a full-sized ionizer, although this personal unit comes in handy in areas where you need it to be very portable, and/or you are unable to connect to AC power. (I like having both, according to the needs and circumstances of the moment.)

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

Stephanie,Your question can't be nailed down to exact science. The amount of cigarette smoke can go from a trace on a surface from a week of smoking to a tar build up. I have been using one of these at home for my cars, a camper, and in my basement. At work I've done design work for Ozone rooms to remove smoke smell out of furniture that has been in fires. Yes an ozone generator can clean cigarette smoke. If it is smoke damage from years and years of build up, I'm afraid you are on cleaning duty with brushes and cleaners until you get the tar removed. This baby will do a fine job after that. ~Steve Davis Stephanie,Your question can't be nailed down to exact science.

No it doesn't. I did not notice that it worked at all. It may be because I have a GMC Yukon instead of a small car.I do know one thing. When i vacuum the whole roof (headliner) of the car it helps a lot.Makes a big difference in the smoke smell. That is where smoke collects, even if you open a window while smoking.I also know that what car dealers use to clean up car smoke is a commercial air cleaner ozone generators. After a car dealer deducts money from you for the smoke smell, they take it out themselves for nothing. How nice.

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.

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
