Does it filter secondhand smoke?

It does "help", but does not completely filter anything. I have some serious lung health concerns so I use these when I fly or go into crowded areas. So far they've helped to keep me from getting ill.

No, the unit doesn't have a filter. I have been thinking of getting some hepa filter paper and putting it on the fan outlet for better cleaning actually.

Come with basic filter but you can buy filters specifically for smoke. I love this product I'm vary happy with it.

I don't smoke, but it really does a good job cleaning out dust from the air (I live next to a road, and the road dust is bad). I think you will be happy with it. You might just need to change filters more often

It works on detection. If the air is polluted, it will automatically turn on higher to filter it, ie..cigarette smoke, cleaning solutions, food odor, kids farts..:)

absolutely, it purifies air to a greater extent- smoke, cooking smell, etc.

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

I've only used it a few times, but I know it has a Hepa filter that can be replaced when needed. The other filter can be cleaned. Hope this is helpful.

According the to information sheet that came with it, no, it will not score a positive because of second hand smoke. I believe there are some other limitations, like not picking up one cigarette a few days ago after a couple of weeks of non-smoking, but I forget exactly what those limits are.

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.

Have not really clean yet. The air was drawn in from the bottom and thinking I can just vacuum it with when too much dusk was trapped. This unit does not really clean dust in air, but to filter air quality and smell.

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.

my husband smokes. I put it just next to the bar he usually sits. it doesn't work that well as i expected. but i can tell the difference by the color if he is not at home. the only thing i like is the filter which doesn't need to replace (cost extra money). Hope it helps

I hear you...I wish it took care of cig smoke. This air filter does not take odor out of the air. But it does help you breathe better.

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.

the lady I purchased the filters for puts it next to her area that cigarettes are being smoked so that the house does not have the smell of cigarettes. she says it does quite well.

The ashtray also comes with an additional filter. You can always email them for options.
