yes, I use it in my acupuncture clinic where I burn a lot of moxibustion almost daily. This greatly helps remove the smell and odor. Highly recommend it

I am allergic to smoke and I keep it near my wood burning fireplace to remove smoke odors while I have a fire burning. It works very well at removing smoke odors.

They have a special one made for second hand smoke... It is the Holmes AER1 Smoke Grabber HEPA Type Filter, HAPF30AS-U4R

It does not indicate in the specifications, however it does have a HEPA filter which will help eliminate the toxins from smoke.

This unit will not clean smoke from the air as it is not a TRUE HEPA filter. I sent the Hamilton Beach back and bought this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VGIGVY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

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.

Yes, but make sure the door to the room is closed for the unit to work best, and that the room is not too big for the unit's capacity. Also, while this unit will help eliminate smoke particles from the air, it may not help that much with the smoke smell for reasons stated by T. Koo.

I personally have not used it in an indoor situation but a friend of ours used it to remove a smoke smell from and jacket and he said it worked. Hope this helps.

I sit in a room with my husband while he smokes cigars, and as soon as I turn it on, it eliminates pretty much all of the smoke and the smell, which to me is pretty amazing, Since you are in a whole separate area, I would start it up before the dinner hour and leave it running throughout, then shut it down at closing. I have heard this is what one would use to eliminate cigarette smoke Oder from previously owned cars and it is very successful too!

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.

It does. I have a neighbor that smokes...if I smell it I turn the fan to high and the smell goes away quickly. I used to be a heavy smoker, If you or a family member is a smoker I would keep it running all the time on medium or high, it would help a lot with keeping the smell out of upholstery, furniture clothes etc. have not tested this though.

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.

It does an excellent job of removing smoke; however, over time nicotine being removed from the air accumulates on the filters which causes the smell to never completely go away simply because air is being drawn through nicotine saturated filters and then expelled back into the air. A frequent change of filters will help keep the cigarette odor to a minimum. In an effort to save money, I have been known to put the filters in the bathtub, saturate them with Awesome Cleaner, let them set for a few minutes and then rinse them with the extended shower-head. The nicotine literally pours out of the filters. I let them dry for a few days and put them back into the enclosure. They're almost as good as new.

I have used mine 3 times so far and had it on for 1/2 hour and there was no smoke. It works great for me.

Ozium is not a long term answer for your situation. It won't remove smoke odor from walls, etc. It is a great product for removing odors when they are there (preventing them from sticking to walls). Hope this helps!

Don't waste money on this item it smokes and has a smell to it. Ronco is much better as I have one
