Before you buy an air purifier, try some simple, common-sense steps to reduce indoor air pollution. Begin by vacuuming often, banning smoking indoors, minimizing use of candles and wood fires, and using exhaust fans in kitchen, bath, and laundry areas. Test your home for radon gas, which can cause lung cancer (test kits cost about $15).
This is because there are TWO major components to the smoke. The first problem of cigarette smoke are the many toxic gasses produced by burning cigarette's. These gasses are in part produced because cigarette manufacturers dose the tobacco in many different chemicals in order to flavor the cigarette's and keep them burning.
Are you a smoker, or have one that lives in your home? If so, then you more than understand the awful smell that is the by product from the cigarette smoke. Not only does a cigarette make the house smell bad, it literally pollutes the air too.
