Outdoor tobacco smoke
Challenges
In any public space, business, or workplace, there are smokers and, most likely, frequent smoking. Frequent smoking comes with several challenges that need to be dealt with, one of them being cigarette smoke spreading through the air, exposing non-smokers to secondhand smoke. Another issue is that it in many places can be difficult and time-consuming for smokers to get to a designated smoking area. When there is no easily accessible designated smoking area with proper air cleaning available, people will most likely smoke outside the nearest entrance, polluting the air in and around the entrance with tobacco smoke and unpleasant odors, and littering the ground with cigarette ends.
