Cigarette Smoke Detector

Is there one around?

Hi All,

A quick question someone asked here and I couldn't find an answer for. Is there a smoke detector available specific to detect cigarette smoke? Is there anything being sold under this guise?

I'm a smoker myself - so this is not meant to spark of an anti-/pro-smoking debate! Merely a question of interest!

Just snag one from one of the Lavoratories during your next flight. They always announce it's a Federal violation to tamper with them. They dont' mention anything about "outright" snagging them... :)

There is a Japanese company selling a product line that claims to be able to specifically "detect cigarette smoke".

I'll have a chat to my mother-in-law as the moment she walks into my house she asks "Who's been smoking in here" I'll tell you now it's very good :)

you could try something to detect the chemicals in cigarettes like formaldehyde or something, or maybe thats juts pointless. Juts thought id mention it.

If you pay for transport, Blob, Tigger will actually SEND you his mother-in-law. ;)

Don't have a mother-in-law, but if I had I guess I would pay the transport myself :).

I've heard that smoke detection is only one of the many senses of a mother-in-law....

I like that - although I'm sure lawman will say that one is an extension of the other!

Depends upon who my client is. ;)

Tape an asthmatic to the ceiling?

(apologies for the poor taste of this 'joke,' but I asked someone who has asthma if she thought it offensive, and she said "Well I have asthma and I laughed til I wheezed" so I assume it can't be too bad)

I once sat out to invent a cig smoke detector, but immediately ceased R&D when I remembered 99.999% of the population are in fact born with a functional nose.

Besides, ain't cloning an in-law just a bad idea all the way around 8^)
