FreshAir, an industry leader in the development of sensors to detect and alert for hazardous chemicals, highlights its unique and highly effective FreshAir Smoking Detection System for casino hotels, the only technology available to monitor for, immediately detect, and prove tobacco smoking and marijuana smoking. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased customers’ concerns about cleanliness, often expressed by sensitivity to the presence of cigarette smoke and residual odors in guest rooms. FreshAir sensors help to reassure guests of the cleanliness of casino hotels.

The FreshAir Smoking Detection System is ideal for casino hotel operators to enforce their no-smoking policies, protect infrastructure investments, secure cleaning fees, and avoid chargebacks. FreshAir sensors alert casino hotel management that a customer is smoking in a room from the first cigarette, so the need for a lengthy and costly remediation process is eliminated, and so too is the risk of significant dissatisfaction among neighboring and subsequent guests.

The FreshAir devices are Wi-Fi enabled, allowing them to notify hotel staff immediately of smoking incidents or of tampering with the device. As a result, staff can stop someone from smoking after one cigarette, limiting damage to the room and eliminating the risk of widespread customer dissatisfaction. By continually protecting no-smoking areas in real time, these advanced smoking detection devices dramatically reduce the need for remediation and alleviate customer concerns about cleanliness and keep customers loyal to the casino’s brand.

Unlike typical smoke detectors which use light or radiation to detect general particles (dust, smoke, steam, etc.), FreshAir sensors are capable of detecting specific molecules in tobacco smoke and marijuana smoke. What’s more, the molecularly imprinted polymer that forms the sensor resets following smoking detection, thus enabling continued monitoring without additional upkeep.

Widely deployed in industry-leading casinos, FreshAir devices, with their patented PolySens® technology, detect and prove smoking in unauthorized areas. These tamper-resistant devices and cloud-based monitoring platform are designed to prevent efforts to defeat detection, helping to protect no-smoking areas in real time.
