Can an air purifier eliminate the smell and harmful effects of tobacco smoke?
Removing the source directly is always the best method to eliminate tobacco smoke, but if the smoker doesn’t want to smoke outside, there are specifically designed units that can help to remove odours and adsorb some of the harmful chemicals found in second-hand tobacco smoke. Units like the AllerAir 5000 DS Exec are specifically designed to deal with tobacco smoke issues. An air purifier can also help in cases where smoke is entering your residence through the duct-work of an attached dwelling (e.g., town-homes, semi-detached houses, condos and apartments).
