This is not suitable for cigar or cigarette smoke so don't buy it for that. There are many ways to do this, and definitely don't leave a bad review if you don't understand the features of what you've bought. I went from a ghetto solution with a 12V computer fan in a custom 3D printed case to this bad guy. This sucker (pun intended) works much better than the previous Ghetto configuration. Now I can solder with lead and lead-free solder without worrying about inhaling hazardous fumes. It's a lot bigger than it looks in the picture! I didn't look at the dimensions and based on the price and the photos I saw I thought it would be a lot smaller. This is an industrial item! Definitely 5 stars and I would advise anyone to buy this as it is designed to remove solder fumes.
