Exploring building a small basement bar/cigar room. Currently there is no ventilation. Thinking about a small exhaust fan and air purifier combo to keep smoke from going upstairs. Seems like the prices are either fairly low (suspect) or really expensive 6-800. Only about a 250 square foot area I’m looking to build. Do they work at all or is it a waste of money? Seems like I have seen both claims.

Those are on the higher end, no? Which model of the iqair do you have?

Blue air are pretty darn good.

Just had the regular filters in the one I had. Used it to help my allergies and asthma.

Tobacco smoke is one of the most complicated carcinogens to remove.  Hepa filters will work for a short time but will quickly start to smell like the smoke all the time.  You really have to exhaust the smoke outside or deal with health risks of using an ozone machine.

Seen a lot about those. So you have one in a small room? Other ventilation? How long after a cigar does the smell go away?

We have had 6 guys smoking in a 400 square ft room all night using a small exhaust fan out of a window and 2 rabbit airs inside a home and next morning no noticeable smell.
