I'm very allergic to cigarette smoke, and both houses on each side of us are now rented to smokers. Would this help me?

A face mask is not good for that situation. Close your windows, run a/c and use 3M Allergen furnace filters. Outside avoid the smokers. Good luck.

My Wife Is Very Sensitive To All Smoke. When She's Outside And There Is Any Burning ... She Wears One. It Would Work For Cigarettes Smoke Too.

2 would work better than one and this would help. For smoke though, I'd recommend Odoban. It's more expensive but more effective for heavy smoke smell.

It'll scrub the air including cigarette smoke; the charcoal filter eliminates odor and ionizer freshens air. So yes this unit will help with cigarette smoke. However any smoke gets embedded into furniture uphostery; etc; is another story.

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. I used to live with a heavy smoker and had a Honeywell HEPA filter system at the time. As long as you are on top of replacing filters it makes a huge difference.

No. It is OK to remedy smoke in a car but it takes closing the small place up for a while and multiple application. My wife is a travel agent and says there are smoke free rooms - ask for one.

It killing cigarette odor and mold and dust! I able to sleep now. Don't think epa would allow an ozone machine. You don't run it while in the same room. Tried for 3 years to get rid of cig odor ! Think I've found the solution !

We cannot Answer this question directly, because, We do not Smoke in this House any Longer. The Quality of the Air with regards to Ion's & Molecules in the Air & Purifying does Seem Better. The Best Solution would be to turn one Small area or a room into a smoke area & begin testing the Product in this One Area or Room. All Smoke REGARDLESS is HARMFUL Period. Smoke coming INTO the Body or Around the Body is very Harmful to the Lungs & Skin of a HUMAN Being. Sincerely, CPT Scott.

KearyI have not used my Woody Knows around second hand smoke, but I do know I can be around many other things that I am allergic to and have no problems. It amazes me that I can now go places that I couldn't for years with my Woody Knows. Make sure you read the directions and get the right size to fit your nose. If its the correct size you will be more protected. Also their customer support will help you. Best of Luck!

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 agree with Peter. It does work well and diverts the smoke. If you can open a window it would be best. Try it. It's the only model I was pleased with and I used it in my small room. Be safe.

Not sure about cigarette smoke. But does neutralize smoke from a fireplace.

Hi Angela. The reason I actually bought this was with the hopes of removing the "smoke" smell emanating from the row home next door to my mom's house. When the neighbors were not smoking, it did do a decent job keeping her house smoke free, but while the neighbors were smoking, and they smoked at least 12 of 24 hours per day, it really had minimal effect on the smoke smell. Sorry.

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.

It seems to do a pretty good job at removing many odors... My guess is going to be the key to cigarette smoke is go ahead and buy two extra Hepa filters and wash the charcoal reusable pre filter once a week for the first month or so. Then next how big is the room? You may need to move it around if you have multiple rooms or they are broken up.

Perhaps a little... but I think for tobacco smoke you want to look into a HEPA Air Purifier.

I know this is an older question, but in my opinion, it does very little to combat smoke stink. It helps a little - but will not solve the problem if you're smoking indoors... no matter what you're smoking.
