If you get a good one: yes. The Austin Air purifier is what the Red Cross distributed to residents in the downtown Manhattan area after 9/11. I had two in my 3-story home in Brooklyn during a major (v. dusty) renovation project. To boot, I was a smoker, fiancee was not. Cleared up mostly everything, including his bitching. They're not cheap ($400-$500) nor small (about 24"x24" sq.). But they do roll on casters and they do work. They're not quiet when running on high...Filters are about $180, and those should be replaced every 1 - 3 years depending on the kind of air you're cleaning.
