Anyone in charge of a building, from employers to pub landlords, have a responsibility to ensure smoking does not take place on the premises. In a bid to get their nicotine hit, many smokers will attempt to smoke in quiet areas of buildings like abandoned corridors or toilet cubicles to avoid detection and the elements outside. In these situations anti-smoking devices such as cigarette smoke detectors, or even a full cigarette smoke detection system, is required to not only catch smokers in the act, but also to act as a deterrent to would-be smokers. Cigarette smoke detectors are unlike normal smoke detectors in that they have very sensitive sensors that have been specially calibrated to detected the very fine particles of cigarette smoke. Once someone starts smoking the fine smoke particles enter the detector chamber and trigger an alarm. Many smoking detectors even have a voice alarm function, allowing you to program a message that will be played to smokers on activation. Flame detectors are also available to detect anyone using a lighter or match. Both types of cigarette detector are available as single units or as combined smoke/flame detectors. Using a variety of these detectors gives comprehensive coverage of the area to be protected and allows building managers to create a custom cigarette detection system that perfectly suits their requirements.
