does this item help reduce second hand smoke?

All I know is that when I enter a home where there is a smoker, I am immediately uncomfortable. I put on my filter and it becomes tolerable.

KearyI have not used my Woody Knows around second hand smoke, but I do know I can be around many other things that I am allergic to and have no problems. It amazes me that I can now go places that I couldn't for years with my Woody Knows. Make sure you read the directions and get the right size to fit your nose. If its the correct size you will be more protected. Also their customer support will help you. Best of Luck!

Please be kindly noticed that both of WoodyKnows nasal filters is expected to filter particles, such as, pollen, dust, dust mites, mold spores, pet hair & dander, but can NOT filter odors, fragrance or this kind of chemicals. We are developing our odor eliminating filters which will be launched in 2-3 months and it mainly works for harmful gases, smoke, vehicle exhaust. For organic fragrance, e.g. fragrance of cosmetics, it works well but not for inorganic fragrance. Please stay tuned.

It has helped me with second hand smoke. It was the only reason I purchased it, to try it out. I'm impressed and will be buying more. Hope I answered your question.

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.

Yes, it will work. But somebody with a "trained nose", like a parent for instance, would be able to detect the odor of all types of smoke. My girlfriend (non-smoker) can tell that I smoke in my truck, but she says it's not as "heavy" as it was before I used the Ozium...it's just a trace, according to her.

I think it will. It will gradually reduce the smell of the smoke, but you have to quit smoking first (at least inside the car) :) You might want to use febreze first.

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

If you meant "bad" smoking smell, I would say "yes" it works to eradicate smoking smell from the air. My father smokes and unless I'm right in his presence when he's doing it, I don't smell it. I would say "yes." In general, yes, it works well for that. Pet smells, too, by the way. I have a dog, it doesn't smell in her room. Cuts down on the dust all through the (small) house. I'm glad I invested in one!

If the answers here are correct, then the description is misleading by saying it traps the smoke. Now I'm wondering if there's a point in keeping it.

Not really. Even when covered it still makes smoke. My solution is to use it just under my kitchen exhaust and then I don't have smoke problems.

I recently moved mine from one side of the room to another, into a corner of my living room that seems to harbor cigarette smoke. I did not do this intentionally, I was actually trying to Feng Shui my apartment and needed an earth element there, so I was absolutely shocked when it made such a drastic difference! I smoke in the dining side of my dining/living room combo and watch tv from the aforementioned corner. It DEFINITELY has an impact on the air quality there! I'm on this page because I'm thinking of getting another for my bedroom so I can breathe cleaner air as I sleep.

No. It just works. And it does. I bought a car where the previous owner was a smoker and it worked great clearing out the lingering odor.

I actually purchased this for my daughter and son-in-law; they have a 3-season porch where they smoke--cigars and cigarettes. I really can't say anything about dust but I do know it has significantly cut down on the smell. Sorry, I could not be of more help.

This test will look for nicotine in your blood, if it is there you will have a positive result. If your blood do not have any, it will be negative.Second hand smoke question is really a subjective question and not related to this product.When i quit smoking, i avoided second hand smoke as much as i can, but there were instances where i am travelling with someone who was smoking, But i never tested after that.

It says it blocks 23% of second-hand smoke and TVOC (whatever that is). I'm sure you could contact them through their website too with the question.

Yes it works with cigarette smoke. Unfortunately it is a very noticeable fan noise.

I have purchased one in the past of my grandmother and she is a heavy smoker. This purifier has allowed me and my grandson to be able to visit and sit with her compared to the other purifiers I have purchased before. We clean her filter often (every couple of months) so to keep her apartment fresh. I also purchased one for the womens bathroom at work and there has been no more complaints of the sent in the hallway. I have not had to replace the filter or clean it yet. I hope this helps.

It does reduce cigarette smoke a bit. However; I would suggest the best method to deal with lingering smoke odors is using a duct cleaning service every other year and shampooing carpets.
