Does it get rid of cigarette smoke odors?

My houseguest smokes and the smoke odor on his clothes has made his guest room stink. However, with the addition of the Crane Purifier, the room now is much more pleasant. Hope this helps.

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.

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 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!

It will take the smoke Smell away. But it is not a fresh scent in my opinion. Will not make it smell Normal for a little while and you have to open your windows To let the fresh air in.

I don't know, but it did not do a good job for me in removing cat dander/pollen and smoke odors.

I don't know for sure - but I suspect it will. I don't smoke and bought it to help remove cat hair and odors. I think it works real well for the price you pay. I think you might be able to get it and if you didn't like it - return it. Hope this helps.

I am not sure. We use it in the room with our guinea pigs. My mom used it for a dead mouse smell and it helped with that offensive odor so I would think it would help with cigarette odor.

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... 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 product is amazing. It cleared the dead mouse smell out of my furnace room in three days. I am sure it could help with smoking smell .... two or three bags around the house and even (one) in the auto. It has no smell of it's own that I can detect. I move my bag around the house as needed. Enjoy....I do.

No idea. I do know that it does a miraculous job of eliminating dog, urine and smoke odors. I have no understanding of the science behind it.

Not sure. We have bought this to purify the air, we have 7 cats at home. We are non smokers, so I don't really know if it would clean the air of smoke.It does a good job with cat particles.

According to the Mayo Clinic, most air filters will not help with cigarette smoke because the biggest problem with cigarette smoke is the guess that's emitted, not the particles. Purepal AG800 or the Purepal AG950 are two filters that are designed to deal with cigarette smoke gas and Amazon sells them. For more info, Google search this phrase using the quotes... "Air filter cigarette smoke gas". Hope this helps.

It'll scrub the air including cigarette smoke; the charcoal filter eliminates odor and ionizer freshens air. So yes this unit will help with cigarette smoke. However any smoke gets embedded into furniture uphostery; etc; is another story.
