How well does it work for smoke?

We don't smoke in the house but it eliminates other odors like garlic, dog smells and cooking odors.

We have a wood stove that is smoky. I would say that the results are variable depending on how active the source of smoke is. It eliminate smoky smells very well, but can be overwhelmed if there is a lot of smoke. Sometimes it is better to open the door.

I smoke occas. & it works very good for me in a small room. I run it all the time on the lower speed. Works perfect for my use which is occasional.

Not likely - it's small and designed to be close to the source of the smoke. Suggest you get a table top air circulation fan, that can blow stronger..

Yes, it does a very good job of it too. I've bought 3 of them in the last month so I'd always have one handy. When I swat them, three out of four times, they die with a "snap". The other 25% they didn't make good enough contact and will sparkle and turn to smoke. It's a good buy @ $6.99.

I quit smoking a few years ago. If I did, I would smoke outside. The odor meter seems sensitive when I cook, so I think it would spike up, I'm not sure about deodorizing the air though. I think it would clean it of some particles, but perhaps not eliminate how stinky cig smoke is. I heard the Vapor cigs don't stink. Overall I like the product for pet dander and dust. The fan noise is soothing...The machine would be better than no machine if I/someone was smoking indoors. I hope you don't have loved ones who don't smoke living in your house or pets. Sorry to be a ninny. Maybe you're smoking fish: yes, I betcha after a while it would help with the smoked fish odor. I quit smoking a few years ago. If I did, I would smoke outside.

Even good home air cleaners like these are only going to be moderately effective when used in a very smokey environment. They will, to some extent, re-radiate whatever they have been filtering.

Regular odors about 3 out of 5. No one smokes here so I can't answer that part. I use this for dust and allergy filtration. If you keep a clean filter and change it once a month job it does a satisfactory job.

For me, it completely gets rid of the cigarette smoke in my closet coming from a neighbors who is a chronic smoker on the first floor. I live on the third floor and the smoke permeates the entire building, including the units on the opposite side of the building. I was afraid I would have to use the ozone feature, but surprisingly, I use every feature but the ozone 24/7 and it works beautifully. I do use the ozone feature, periodically, but I seal off the door with duct tape while I run it for a day, and then turn it off when I go to bed. It seems to keep moths out of my closet, too. I plan on purchasing another unit for my main living area. For me, it completely gets rid of the cigarette smoke in my closet coming from a neighbors who is a chronic smoker on the first floor.

I have a small concede covered front porch and use the smoker on it so that it's out of the weather. It does emit some smoke from the top vent but not very much. It's better that any grill smoke when I grill.

I have used it as a smoker. You have to be careful and keep an eye on the temp gauge.

This smoker gets about as hot as a crockpot running on high setting. You only set it to 200 or 225 to smoke something. Putting it on top of a piece of plywood works well for me, but something less flammable is better of course. Since you are generating smoke for a few hours, your biggest issue might be the wind patterns and your neighbors.

We haven't noticed any smoke, per se. The heat has to dissipate, so it will put off a fragrant steam. My wife is allergic to smoke and I haven't heard her complain.

No, if your seeing smoke coming out you may need to adjust how it's stacked. Should not see almost any smoke come out.

I have only used on cigarette smoke. It did the trick but after a period of a couple months the smoky smell is back although not as strong.

It doesn't smoke much but I would suggest using a hair dryer and pulling it slightly when drying

Probably. I've never used it on smoke but I did talk to a contractor who uses an ozone generator in buildings to clean up odors. Just make sure you don't directly breath the fumes. The ozone initially has a strong rain like smell but after the smell dissipates, everything smells fresh.

I use it in my Motor Home where there are two to 3 smokers...sometimes at the same time... It does pretty well... my motor home is 8' by 30'.. hope that helps yeah?
