I need a budget air purifier that actually works for cigarette smoke

[Danny_phantom]

Does anyone know a reasonably priced air purifier that truly works for cigarette smoke based on personal experience? I'm around heavy indoor smoke every day, and I've tried a couple of different purifiers after researching a ton, but honestly, I haven't noticed any real difference. If you've used one that actually clears the air, I'd love a recommendation.

Been around a lot of indoor smoke too, and the only purifier that really made a difference for me was the Winix 5500-2 and it's affordable too. It handles cigarette smoke well i think coz of its carbon and HEPA filters. I had like 2 other purifiers and they didnt do well as much as my Winix..

I've seen the Winix 5500-2 mentioned before but wasn't sure if it lived up to the hype
