I work in an environment where there is second-hand smoke. I am considering
buying a portable air-cleaner to take with me to that job. Does anyone have
any recommendations?

Have you talked to management about this? Aren't they aware of the
dangers of second hand smoke? That is the first step - get the
!@#$%^&* smokers outside the building. Even if the boss turns you
down, you need to voice your feelings about breathing other people's
noxious emissions. What are the local laws concerning smoking in the
workplace?
I don't think any personal sized air cleaner is going to do much good
in an office, unless the room is small and has a door you can close.
If I were in your situation I would find another job right away.
Seriously. Like my mother, I am allergic to tobbaco smoke and I feel
physically ill immediately when I smell the stink.
Good luck.

Let me say on behalf of outdoor smokers everywhere, Screw You John.
Why don't you go outside the building?

When the tobacco war starts, I will be on the other side of the
barricades.

If you don't care about my rights, why should I care about yours?

You do have rights but your right to smoke inside is harmful to those who do
not smoke.
You've made the choice to poison your body...that is your right. Non smokers
have chosen not to put their bodies thru' that, that is their right.
Much easier for you to smoke outside than it is for a non smoker not to
breath the air inside.

I'm not taking sides, but we need to get terms straight. There are no
"rights" when it comes to smoking. Smoking, like driving (and sometimes
fishing) is a privilege, not a right. It is something that a person is
allowed to do under a certain set of circumstances. This may be a license or
it may be permission from another party or just a lack of objection. Rights
and privileges are not interchangeable terms.
