Smoke Free To Keep Out Allergens

Filed Under Allergy Prevention, Air Quality Systems

Keep your place smoke-free. Smokers are not only creating harm to themselves but to all those around. They produce an allergen that increases the risk of headaches and respiratory problems in others. According to some research, passive smoke raises the likelihood that a child will develop allergies or asthma if he or she is continually exposed to it for the first few years of life.

An air cleaner may help to purify the air but the best prevention is to get smokers to light up their cigarettes out in the open and away from the home. You will need to ensure that second hand smoke does not whiff back through the window.

It may be hard to convince the smoker in the family; so it is best to do so gently. Explain nicely how smoke is causing discomfort to all and that it will be especially detriment to a growing child.
