does it remove second hand smoke smell

Angelo, can not answer that true-fully because we do not smoke--I can tell you that once I started using It the dust in the back room was eliminated. It does have two filters-one Is a He-pa filter which traps the tiniest of particles.

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.

can't be 100% sure on this one because my sense of smell isn't very good. i can say though that when my neighbors would party in front of my door we would put a towel down at the base of the doorway and the Honeywell seemed to do the rest by the next day.

I'm pretty sure it would, it takes out the smell off gas and tobacco for the price it's worth a try it works for me daiky with the tobacco smell

The Moso Bag will remove smoke from the air, however once smoke (or any odor) is imbedded in the surface of something, the moso will not get it out. Its best to clean the surface as well as possible and then keep the moso bag near it to clear out any smells that might be seeping into the air.

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

I think using coffee soap would help, but I don't believe it would fully get rid of the smoke odor.

It helped get the cigarette smoke smell out of a used car that had been owned by a smoker. It does leave a residual odor, so you might want to sample it and decide which odor is the worst. I would think it would take quite a bit to treat a stateroom.

Yes. Does not matter where the smoke comes from, will clean any any smells that get sucked into the machine.

We don't smoke in the house, but it does eliminate other odors, such as cooking aftermath.

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.

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 it does, for the smoke smell. Obviously if you have something dank lying around you will still be able to smell that.

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

It absolutely does NOT work for cigarette smoke. The room I use it in occasionally has secondhand smoke from the neighbors and this machine will not remove the odor. At best you can hope it will pick up a little stray smoke particles if the smoke is particularly thick. You will need to buy a true HEPA air purifier with a dedicated filter with lots of activated carbon (I think charcoal is one option). This product is not true HEPA - it's just a cheap alternative since you don't need to buy disposable filters every few months.

I have only used on cigarette smoke. It did the trick but after a period of a couple months the smoky smell is back although not as strong.

Probably. I've never used it on smoke but I did talk to a contractor who uses an ozone generator in buildings to clean up odors. Just make sure you don't directly breath the fumes. The ozone initially has a strong rain like smell but after the smell dissipates, everything smells fresh.

I am not sure about smoke odors, it does however clean plastics exceptionally well. It does have a pleasant smell too.
