My always-smoking neighbors in my apartment building are killing me. Does it stop cigarette smoke?

It should help diminish the odor as long as there are no other openings air can enter. If it is a serious problem, in addition, you may wish to purchase an air filter. Costco and Amazon have some good ones.

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.

Some odors are harder to remove than others and stale [cigarette?] smoke is one of the hardest to eliminate but you're definitely on the right track! What really works to eliminate odors is the ozone emitting component of this air purifier and forget about charcoal and HEPA filtration. That said, this particular unit would probably do the job for you but it does not produce as much ozone as some of the other air purifiers which strictly rely on ozone to eliminate odors. I would go with one of the "ozone only" air purifiers; run it on high in UNOCCUPIED areas and moving it from room to room until the entire house has been treated. You might find you will need to re-treat some areas but depending on the length of time you run the purifier, it will eventually eliminate 100% of the odor - usually after one "treatment".

Smoke detectors: Yes, but it takes ALOT of smoke to cause that, have fans circulating air in the room and it will help it keep from building up. No to the sticky residue, that mostly depends upon the solution you are using. Stick with the recommended fog and you should be fine, same for food.

I actually purchased this for my daughter and son-in-law; they have a 3-season porch where they smoke--cigars and cigarettes. I really can't say anything about dust but I do know it has significantly cut down on the smell. Sorry, I could not be of more help.

I do not think so, but I've only used mine on the porch. There is quite a bit of smoke.

The simple answer is, "Yes", but it may not do so SUFFICIENTLY for your issue. Trust me, I understand your problem! But it's a SMALL unit, and may not have the capacity, depending on how bad your smoke-intrusion issue is. If 80% of the structure is smoke-tainted, I'd look at something bigger, truthfully.

No. It just works. And it does. I bought a car where the previous owner was a smoker and it worked great clearing out the lingering odor.

No it does not and I am a smoker. Commit used to work well, wish they brought it back.

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!

Not in an environment with cigarette smoke but definitely helps freshen my apartment.

Hi Lindsey, I keep my smoker in a storage shed. It eliminates the wind, and your temp will remain constant. Also remember, the air flow limiter on the top should not be kept wide open. This will cause a a large airflow and your internal temp will be affected. Experience will drive how much air flow you allow, and what level of smoke you will get. Good luck. Love my Bradley

I use it in non smoking environment. However the instruction manual says it will eliminate smoke odor but when using it for that feature do not use the ionizer. It may be very helpful but I'll bet it is not going to remove the odor from clothing, hair and furniture

Get a new smoke detector. They get dusty with age and dust sets them off. I hate them

Not really. Even when covered it still makes smoke. My solution is to use it just under my kitchen exhaust and then I don't have smoke problems.
