Look for a True HEPA filter, certified to capture 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns.
Activated Carbon for Odors
Choose a purifier with an activated carbon filter alongside the HEPA filter. This will absorb smoke odor and other harmful gases, leaving your air smelling fresh
CADR Rating for Room Size
Consider the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) based on your room size. Higher CADR values indicate faster air cleaning in larger spaces.
Air Changes per Hour (ACH)
Aim for air purifiers that can achieve at least 4-6 air changes per hour in your designated room for optimal smoke removal.
Fan Power and Noise
Higher fan speeds ensure faster cleaning but might be disruptive. Look for purifiers with adjustable fan settings and quiet operation modes
Filter Replacement & Maintenance
Choose purifiers with readily available replacement filters and easy-to-clean pre-filters
Smart Features and Automation
Opt for purifiers with automatic sensors that adjust fan speed based on air quality. This can optimize performance and save energy.
Portability or Room Coverage
Decide if you want a small, portable purifier for personal use or a larger unit for entire rooms. Consider where you typically smoke and choose accordingly.
Additional Features
Some purifiers offer UV light sanitization, germ-killing ionization, or humidifier functions. Choose features that align with your specific needs and budget.
Quit Smoking is the Ultimate Solution
Remember, While purifiers can improve indoor air quality, quitting remains the best way to protect your health from the harmful effects of smoking
