Cigarette Smoke Detectors: How Nicotine Detection Works

Cigarette smoking and vaping can create significant challenges for schools, restaurants, hotels, apartment buildings, workplaces and other shared environments. Traditional smoke alarms are designed primarily to detect conditions associated with fires, not to identify someone smoking a cigarette, cigar or vaping device. For organizations that need to enforce smoke-free policies, protect indoor air quality and respond quickly to unauthorized smoking, specialized detection technology can provide an additional layer of visibility.
