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.
