Does it help to eliminate the second hand smoke odors and eliminate the effects of 2nd hand smoke?

The PHI process will attack the smoke (VOC) molecules and eliminate - depending on the space , you may need multiple.

I ended up returning it. I ordered it to help with musty odors and it did not help. Was disappointed but the company let me return it with no problem.

I do not know since we do not smoke and no one we know smokes. It does make the air we breath seem fresher and clean.

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!

We're attempting to address new home potentially toxic fumes from spray in insulation and fire proof coating in crawl space walls. Have additionally installed air to air heat exchanger / exhaust (Panasonic).

I've never used it for that purpose. It has a charcoal filter which sits on top of the HEPA filter. It does remove odors fairly well and I've set it up in the kitchen when I've burned something to remove the odor. It did a good job of that in my opinion. Cigarette smoke is different in some ways but I think this would probably help. With cigarette smoke you have tars and other substances which cling to furnishings and surfaces which would have to be cleaned in addition to filtering the air.

No experience with such things, but seriously doubt that anything but a 'clean room' at medical or manufacturing facility could clean the sorry fumes of burning tobacco. Ask your smoking neighbors to move, or consider the same for yourself.

I think using coffee soap would help, but I don't believe it would fully get rid of the smoke odor.

It helps, but is not a total solution. I use it in conjunction with chemical deodorizes. I Would say it helps control odors more so than eliminating them.

I am not sure, but I believe the packaging says they get rid of stale, musty odors. I think with anything like desk drawers it would really depend on how permeated the wood is with the scent of smoke.

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

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 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.

I think it helps. It doesn't eliminate all odor, but it does freshen the area.

It should, yes. It effects all the molecules it interacts with like the smelly chemicals associated with litter pan odors, cooking odors, and probably cigarettes.

Yes. Does not matter where the smoke comes from, will clean any any smells that get sucked into the machine.

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.

Patrick, Actually, I purchased the bare bones ozone generator. I haven't had the opportunity to use it to remove cigarette smoke but it did a fine job removing several other odors. The instruction sheet that came with the unit gives a basic guideline as to its use but some experimentation is required. I would suggest that you start slowly, maybe an hour, and check the results. Times will vary depending on the subject's size. Be sure to read the instructions regarding healthy use.

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.

I live in a non-smoking environment, but I do notice that there are still odors with this air purifier on. This isn't the most effective air purifier out there. So, don't expect too much from it.
