Does this unit eliminate tobacco smoke odor?

Don't know about tobacco odor as there is no smoking in our house, but if someone passes gas the fan cranks up to high in a matter of seconds :)

Hi Angela. The reason I actually bought this was with the hopes of removing the "smoke" smell emanating from the row home next door to my mom's house. When the neighbors were not smoking, it did do a decent job keeping her house smoke free, but while the neighbors were smoking, and they smoked at least 12 of 24 hours per day, it really had minimal effect on the smoke smell. Sorry.

I have never had cigarette smoke in my household, but seeing as it helps with food cooking odors I would think it would help with smoke odors.

We are smokers and had concerns for our grandchildren and second hand smoke. I find that it totally eliminates cigarette odors.

Depends on the space in which you want smoke odor from. I use it in one bedroom where it works well within that space.

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.

i'm not sure. we use this in the shoe closet to neutralize and as well as near pet areas. smoke smell is often absorbed into fabrics of clothes or furniture, i do not believe it could help with that. perhaps an air cleaner that filters the air and circulates cleaner air in the room? we have one and it works well, especially when cooking.

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.

Not sure about cigarette smoke. But does neutralize smoke from a fireplace.

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 does. Note these are the best units I have had so far. The other very popular ones crap out within a year and give a false alarm.This is due to the manner in which the smoke particles are sensed. Photoelectric and ionized particles.Bill

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.

Non-smoker, so can't answer, I think this unit is not strong enough for cigarette smoke...

This unit can help to remove cigarette smoke when paired with its HEPA-Odorcell filter. We would recommend to purchase these together so you will have the best option to help remove the lingering odor. Keep in mind, these units will only work in the space that they are in. We recommend that when you receive your unit, take out the basic filter that comes with the unit and put in the HEPA-Odorcell and turn the unit on high for a couple of hours to allow max air flow. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thank you for choosing Alen as your clean air provider and have a great day.

It will absolutely eliminate the smoke smell. You should run it at full power over night when no one is there and turn it to low when you have guests. I would ask the company also. There is nothing else that eliminates odors like ozone. I think you could put it on a timer so that your employees don't spend long periods of time with high levels of ozone. My personal use for this machine is because of a smoker so I know it eliminates the odors. In the days when smoking was allowed everywhere ozone air filters were in every bar!

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.

Cant say for sure that it eliminates dust. But it does clean the air. And it does clean the air out well. All i can say is that i sleep so much better after purchasing these units. I have four of them, one for each room.
