How to Get Rid of Smoke Smell
Smells from cigarettes, tobacco and vapes are more than just an annoyance. They’re pervasive. They cling to fabrics and walls. They’re also harmful. Including the lingering smoke smells and residue left behind. It can make buying and selling a house, or renting a flat, difficult. But these odour problems can be neutralised and managed with the Smell Away® Odour Neutraliser & Dust Remover, a highly rated air cleaner and purifier.
Get rid of the smell of cigarette and vape smoke in a house. 🚬 And keep it away.
Smoke odours from cigarettes, tobacco, and vapes can be really difficult to eliminate.
Our customers have had to try all kinds of methods to get rid of cigarette smoke smells from their home. Especially if they've been left behind by the previous owners or tenants.
Some have to deal with smoke wafting in from the neighbours, on a daily basis.
The tiny smoke odour particles stick to everything they touch - carpets, curtains, walls, ceilings. And because nicotine and tar are very sticky, the room becomes discoloured over time.
The key is neutralising the odour molecules that cause the smoke smells, and then staying on top of the problem.
The air is also constantly stale and anyone coming into the property can smell it. Being Brits, we're generally too polite to say anything.
Normal cleaning methods and opening windows don't work for everyone
It takes a lot of time and effort to clean away the residue left behind by smoke. Especially if it's daily.
Opening windows to get rid of the smoke generally helps but isn't always possible. Some people live in cold, polluted or noisy environments.
Air fresheners smell nice but only mask the smell for a few hours. Same with scented candles.
Most people deep clean for a while before reverting back to their normal routines. A stale smoke smell hangs in the air and the problem is never really eliminated.
If there's a smoker in the house, or neighbours are causing the problem, the smells soon comes back and it just takes too much time to keep on top of everything.
If this is you, you're not alone. You don’t need to let the problem get to this stage. In fact, you shouldn't. There are health impacts, even from residual cigarette and tobacco smoke.
Health impact of residue smoke 😮💨
Secondhand smoke: Secondhand smoke contains harmful chemicals that can cause serious health issues in non-smokers.
Vulnerable groups like children, the elderly, and pets are particularly at risk.
Thirdhand smoke: The residue that cigarette smoke leaves behind, known as thirdhand smoke, settles on surfaces and contributes to the accumulation of harmful substances that degrade both air and surface quality. This sticky residue persists long after smoking has stopped, posing health risks.
Respiratory irritation: Cigarette odours can trigger asthma attacks, allergies, and worsen chronic bronchitis by continuously irritating the lungs and airways.
There's a way to eliminate cigarette, tobacco and vape smells: the Smell Away®. It eliminators odour and also removes dust, dirt and bacteria from the air.
The Smell Away® Odour Neutraliser & Dust Remover is specifically designed to remove the most stubborn of smells, such as those from cigarettes, tobacco, and vapes. It also removes airborne dirt, dust, bacteria and harmful pathogens.
“Brilliant value for money”
“Having tried many air filters to remove the smell of cigarettes in the past this is by far the greatest and the best value for money. I brought smell away 15 months ago and since then it has been in constant heavy use (24 hours a day 7 days a week. Running cost is very low.)”
“I’ve only recently needed to replace the storage filter. I emailed the smell away team for advice and guidance on replacing the storage filter before purchasing it and they were quick to respond and extremely helpful. The cost of the replacement filter was very reasonable considering how long the original one has lasted. This really is the best, most effective air filter I’ve ever used.”
Customer from Aberdeen
“As described”
“Used to in the bedroom to get rid of some dry herb vape smell. Worked very well, quite pleased with the smell away.”
Customer from St. Andrews
Smell Away® doesn't just mask odours — it neutralises them at the source
Switch on the Smell Away® Odour Neutraliser daily, or whenever you can smell the smoke, and you’ll stay on top of the problem.
This is the key — little and often. If you let the problem build up, it means the odours will steadily become ingrained into surfaces.
If this has already happened, the Smell Away® can still help, as it has for our customers. You'll need to run the Smell Away® for longer to get hold of the problem — perhaps a couple of weeks — while it captures and neutralises all of the stubborn smells.
Use continuously to get rid of ingrained smoke smells
Cigarette smoke smell is particularly stubborn. It permeates deep into everything. When you first receive your Smell Away®, use it continuously until it's gotten rid of the historical smoke. This may take several weeks.
The Smell Away® Odour Neutraliser air filter uses a special activated carbon filter with our secret ingredient that is able to trap and absorb the molecules that cause cigarette smoke smells. This filter is made up of tiny, porous particles that have an electric charge and have a large surface area, allowing them to capture a huge volume of odour-causing molecules.
It's powerful 💪
The Smell Away® is engineered to clean large volumes of air: it can process a whopping 100 cubic metres of air per hour. That’s the size of a very large room! It can also run for hours on end.
It's cheap to run because it's very energy-efficient — less than 1p per hour 😊
The Smell Away® uses just 14 watts (14W) of electricity per hour, meaning that the average UK customer pays less than half of 1p to run the Smell Away® an hour! According to the Energy Saving Trust, the national average price per pence of kWh of electricity is 22p (£0.22), as of July 2024. So the calculation for usage is: 0.014kWh x 22p = 0.308p … less than half a penny. If opening the windows doesn't solve the smell problem, it's the cheapest way to make a house smell good.
It’s super-easy to use 😎
It’s a “plug and play” unit — just plug it in and switch on. Then leave it to get to work, while you go about your day as normal. You can easily move it around to other rooms, to get close to odours and neutralise them even quicker.
Keep windows and doors closed, where possible. It means the Smell Away® won’t need to run as long.
View / BuySmell Away® vs. normal air purifiers
Air purifiers work by removing pollutants from the air and circulating clean air back into a room. These devices are designed to capture airborne particles, including smoke particles. However, while they're good at improving air quality, they often struggle with odours.
As one customer said:
“Excellent product”
“I have 2 air purifiers at home but still can't remove the cigarette smell from recently move in neighbour. The air quality improves immediately after using Smell Away for an hour. I am now using it 24/7 and hope it lasts long.”

Smell Away® vs. air fresheners
Cigarette smoke is composed of thousands of chemicals, many of which are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter. These components attach to surfaces, furniture, and even air particles, creating a lasting and pervasive smell. Air fresheners mask the odour temporarily, but don't provide a long-term solution. They can even leave behind their own after-smell, and can iritate cats.
Smell Away® vs. professional cleaning services
The Smell Away® can save you from needing to call in professional cleaners. Whereas professionals use invasive methods like deep cleaning and ozone generators (especially in the USA), the Smell Away® odor neutralizer is a less disruptive way to regularly maintain a fresh and clean air environment.
And of course, it’s your unit to keep and switch on whenever you need to in the future, unlike a one-off cleaning service.
Smell Away® vs. ozone generators
These devices generate ozone, which oxidises odour-causing molecules, breaking them down. However, their use has health concerns. Ozone is a powerful oxidizer and can be harmful to breathe, leading many to use these generators only in unoccupied spaces and with caution.
There are none of these health concerns with the Smell Away®. There’s nothing toxic in the carbon filter. Plus, the square holes at the top of the Smell Away® are to British Standards (4mm) so a child can not put their finger in the hole to touch the fan.
Experience the Smell Away® risk-free with our 30-day money-back guarantee
