This is just an air conditioner. It is not a filtering unit. It can not accept any other filter than the one in it that is cleanable. The 2 hoses that go in your window to bring in and exhaust air for the condenser side of the unit are not totally air tight and could let in some smoke. Having said that, this unit is the most efficient and best working portable A/C unit I have ever run. I love it. I would suggest getting a separate room air filter to filter smoke particulates and running it in the room you use this unit. That's what I've been doing and the air feels/smells clean and cool. Any filter MERV 13 and better will filter smoke.

Please note, this portable air conditioner can handle the smoke very well. You may purchase additional accessories to help you filter out the smoke from the outside.
