Cigarette & Tobacco Smoke & Odor Removal

Air filtration systems act as smoke eaters to extract cigarette smoke and odors using the combination of a blower, carbon, and specialized filter technology. Of all public places, bars and nightclubs have the highest air levels of secondhand smoke, creating serious health and safety risks for employees. When cigarette smoke goes uncontrolled, it settles on surfaces, furniture, flooring, and in the crevices of residential homes and commercial buildings. The longer cigarette smoke goes uncontrolled, the more hazardous it becomes - developing into unpleasant odors and unsafe air quality.

Cigarette smoke particles vary in size and range from 0.01 - 1.0 microns - which for perspective, is smaller than a strand of human hair. Because the particles in cigarette smoke and odors are so small, regular HVAC filters cannot effectively control them. When children and nonsmoking adults live in homes where cigarette smoke is present, any substance they breathe, touch, or consume can create a risk for health issues.

While most U.S. states enforce smoking restrictions, various states don't require designated smoking areas or have separate ventilation laws. Regardless of state, it's up to the homeowner to decide if they allow smoking or not - some states do prohibit smoking in private multi-unit rental properties. In any case, it's beneficial to both residential and commercial property owners challenged with cigarette smoke and odors to invest in air filtration systems.
