Charcoal bags, then, can work as a
cigarette odor remover, at least from the atmosphere. They have no moving
parts, don’t need electricity, and can be reused (just leave them out in the
sun for a few days). However, they only remove the smell from the atmosphere
temporarily. They don’t get to the actual source of the odors, which is the
tar, nicotine and smoke residue. If you want to remove smoke odor from
clothing, for example, a charcoal bag is not going to work.
