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.

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.)

My condo is a non smoking anywhere place, inside and out. However we do have vog from the local volcano (truly--Mauna Loa) and that can be pretty stinky. The air purifier handles this well.

unfortunately, no. this isn't an air freshner but a personal purifier. I'll tell you what it does help with. My co-worker is a HEAVY smoker and when she comes back from her smoke break, this purifier helps me to not smell the tobacco that lingers on her. It helps when someone wears too much perfume too.

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..

I do notice a little change with allergies. Mine are horrible and I have a 9month old who's seemed to be bad also. We would wake up each day with stuffy noses or go to bed with sore throats. It seems a little better. I originall got the purifier because we moved into a rental where the previous debtors were smokers. PEWEY!!!! I have only run it about 4 times while I was at work. The smell is still there but not as bad. I'm going to try it in my car too. Can't wait to see how that works.

Yes, I bought it specifically for my moms house. She quit smoking in the house and cleaned everything but it still smelled. This Kendal Ozone Ionizer worked great. The house has no smoke odor at all.

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.

Yes... I had the same problem... Changed to this filter, got better results. Was worried that is was for pet odors. I do not use it for smoke odors. It is used for office bathrooms...Better product...John

This is a accurate kit in my opinion. I would say yes if you are exposed to second hand smoke

I would think so. It worked just fine for me. We have multiple smoke alarms as well.

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.

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.

I was running the air purifier 24/7 days a week for 5 months during our winter, and by the 6th month I had to replace it. not to say that is what may happen to you, but something to consider if your planning on running it that way. I needed to run it all the time since my allergies are worse during the winter. it also depends where are how much dust is pucked up in thearea where you place it.

I'm sorry I can't answer that. I don't smoke nor do I allow my guests to smoke in my apartment.

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.
