The answer is yes. Second-hand smoke is an organic gas, which contains a lot of solid particles. For most purifiers using HEPA filters, it can be completely filtered by air purifiers. Not only that, the odor emitted by second-hand smoke can also be absorbed by activated carbon in the purifier in time. If you smoke next to the air purifier, the smoke won't diffuse indoors and linger.

There is a new air purifier specially for secondhand smoke on the market. You can learn about it.

what's the difference between air purifiers and second-hand smoke purifiers on the market?

air purifiers, also known as "air cleaners", air fresheners and purifiers, refer to products that can adsorb, decompose or transform various air pollutants (generally including PM2.5, dust, pollen, odor, decoration pollution such as formaldehyde, bacteria and allergens) and effectively improve air cleanliness.

The commonly used air purification technologies include adsorption technology, negative (positive) ion technology, catalysis technology, photocatalyst technology, super-structure photomineralization technology, HEPA high-efficiency filtration technology, electrostatic dust collection technology, etc. Material technology mainly includes: photocatalyst, activated carbon, synthetic fiber, HEPA high-efficiency material, negative ion generator, etc. The existing air purifiers are mostly compound, that is, a variety of purification technologies and material media are adopted at the same time.

The second-hand smoke purifier is a targeted purification ability for tobacco-specific pollution, which is simply an upgraded version of the air purifier.
