Does it also block out smells such as smoke?

It make a pretty secure seal, but I am not sure about the smells it would let through.

We do not smoke but we have had dogs and it removes the dog smell. Plus we live in a rural area and there is a lot of skunks that get hit on the road near us. and this removes that odor as well. So i would imagine that it would remove smoke odor. Hope that helps.

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.

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.

It hides the smoke and smell.when you smoke, before you exhale, put your mouth on the small hole and exhale. You can't see the smoke come out the other end and it won't smell like anything. Make sure the caps are off both ends though.

No, but I only used it one season and then never bothered with it again. Next year's tag sale item! I thought it was too big, and the filter never really seemed to need cleaning. I bought it to remove particulate matter - smoke - that might get into the house from using the fireplace in the winter, but I don't think it's really made for that.

It does help block out a modest amount of noise, but it is not a solution for large noise issues. I hope this helps.

No it doesn't. It is a clear spray that simulates smoke to test fire detectors.

Yes, it covers a large area living room, dinning room and kitchen pretty good, you can see the cigarette smoke go right to it, no more smoke lingering in the air. nice unit.

I've tried it for mild cigarette odor and it worked well. I would imagine it would work for a heavier smoke odor also.

I know this is an older question, but in my opinion, it does very little to combat smoke stink. It helps a little - but will not solve the problem if you're smoking indoors... no matter what you're smoking.

No it doesn't. I did not notice that it worked at all. It may be because I have a GMC Yukon instead of a small car.I do know one thing. When i vacuum the whole roof (headliner) of the car it helps a lot.Makes a big difference in the smoke smell. That is where smoke collects, even if you open a window while smoking.I also know that what car dealers use to clean up car smoke is a commercial air cleaner ozone generators. After a car dealer deducts money from you for the smoke smell, they take it out themselves for nothing. How nice.

Yes, it does and it blows strong enough to see the smoke. If you use it the right way, it is the "live saver" for Evap. and Engine vacuum leaks tests. very useful, time saver and money maker tool. Good lucks....

Blocks the smell very well. I keep the mask in a sealed ziploc bag between uses as carbon filters whether you are wearing it or not. I am in China (watch the news about the smog here) and I can tell you that it works well.

Yes, it covers the smoke attachment. The whole grill is protected from the elements/weather.

It does not block odors. It is a particle filter mask and odors can travel as molecules combined with air thus this filter will not catch them.Try the filters from Wein I think is the name. These are designed for disaster relief workers and will filter much better than the mask you are asking about. The cost is several times more and the masks are usually replaced each day.

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.
