Tell Me About Cigarette Smoke Detectors

We have an unruly member of the household flaunting the “no smoking on the premises” rule.

I’ve been looking at getting a cigarette smoke detector for her room.

Can’t really find too many options out there apart from a Cig-Arette alarm for around £180.

This seems a bit pricey & is also a 2012 model so not exactly the latest tech.

Most other stuff seems aimed at workplaces or schools etc. Often with a subscription attached.

Any experience out there?

I’d have thought a high-powered water pistol at close range, ie the face and cigarette for every infringement would be a major disincentive to sparking up. And/or confiscation of all materials necessary to infringe the rules.

Any whining about ‘infringement of personal rights’ would result in perpetrator being locked out of the house in their bedclothes.

Your nose?  Its easy enough to smell and very distinctive

Cigarette smoke will trigger almost any optical detector, but the enterprising mind will just wrap it in a plastic bag. But they stink and it should be immediately obvious that someone has lit up just by using your nose.
