Indoor tobacco smoke
Challenges
Smokers are a part of most businesses and workplaces. In many cases, indoor smoking comes with several challenges that need to be dealt with. Many organizations have introduced smoking bans, created smoking rooms, or designated smoking areas, but it still does not fully solve the problem: the risk of non-smokers being exposed to hazardous secondhand smoke. Without a proper, well-functioning solution, tobacco smoke can rapidly spread throughout the building. In addition, tobacco smoke and cigarette ends can both cause odor problems in a facility, making the environment unhealthy and unpleasant. Another challenge is that in many cases it can be difficult and time-consuming for smokers to get to designated smoking areas. In some facilities, such as airports, getting to designated outdoor smoking areas is not even possible due to security reasons.
