Odor-free smoking room

Effectively neutralize tobacco smoke – ensure long-term air quality

Smoking areas in hotels, companies, restaurants, and public buildings pose a particular challenge: tobacco smoke contains thousands of chemical compounds, including tar, nicotine, VOCs, fine dust, and odors, which stubbornly settle in textiles, furniture, and indoor air.

With proven oxytec technology, we actively and permanently clean the air – using UV-C, ozone, or plasma systems. The result: odor-free smoking areas with healthy indoor air quality – even with continuous use.

Typical pollution levels in smoking areas

emission source Typical pollutants Special features
Tobacco smoke (active/passive) VOCs, tar, nicotine, fine dust, odors Long-lasting, sticks to surfaces
Cigarette embers/waste Nitrogen oxides, CO, volatile gases Fire hazard, odor development
Clothing & breathing air Secondary smoke transfer Odor pollution even outside the room

Why Oxytec in smoking areas?

  • Actively neutralizes odors and pollutants without leaving any residue
  • Prevents deposits on textiles, ceilings, walls, and technical equipment
  • Prevents odors from escaping into adjacent rooms or hallways
  • Ensures lasting fresh air quality – even with windows closed
  • Improves the quality of the environment and reduces cleaning effort

Legal requirements

Non-smoker protection laws (depending on the state)

  • Require separate, ventilated rooms without odor transfer
  • oxytec systems enable effective air purification without structural separation
  • Reduce pollutants and odors below perceptible limits

Workplace Ordinance / TRGS 900

  • Obligation to avoid air pollution that is hazardous to health
  • UV-C and plasma systems contribute to indoor air quality in accordance with VDI 6022

Odorless – even in places where people smoke.

With oxytec systems, smoking areas become neutral, usable zones without any unpleasant lingering odors—promoting comfort, hygiene, and legal compliance.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How do Oxytec systems work to eliminate odors from tobacco smoke?

oxytec relies on UV-C ozone or plasma systems that oxidize odor molecules and thus permanently neutralize them—not just mask them. The air is purified in real time:

  • UV-C ozone decomposes odors photolytically and chemically
  • Plasma technology also removes VOCs, nicotine residues, and fine dust particles
  • No chemical additives, no residues

How are adjacent rooms protected from smoke odors?

We recommend controlled airflow with negative pressure regulation in the smoking room. In combination with oxytec devices, this prevents:

  • Odors escaping through door gaps
  • Smoke particles entering hallways or common rooms
  • Contamination of clothing or furnishings in neighboring rooms

How much maintenance do the systems require?

Very little:

  • UV-C tubes last approx. 9,000–10,000 hours, i.e. up to 1 year of continuous operation
  • Plasma systems are filterless and virtually maintenance-free
  • Only occasional visual inspection and cleaning of the housing is necessary

Can the systems be integrated into existing rooms?

Yes—ideal, in fact. Oxytec systems are:

  • compact (also for ceiling or wall installation)
  • modular – multiple devices can be combined
  • also mobile or can be integrated into HVAC systems
    No structural separation is required.

Are the systems safe for human health?

Absolutely:

  • All systems are CE-compliant and approved for continuous operation
  • Ozone is dosed in a controlled manner or converted back in the system
  • There is no direct UV-C exposure in the room
  • No hazardous substances or emissions in the occupied area

What advantages do plasma systems offer over conventional ventilation systems?

Plasma systems:

  • operate independently of outside air or climatic influences
  • Filter and neutralize even the smallest odor particles
  • prevent energy loss because no air exchange is required
  • operate quietly, without drafts or disturbances

Can the systems be automated?

Yes. Our systems can be controlled

  • be controlled by door contacts, presence detectors, or timers
  • be set to continuous or interval operation
  • be optionally equipped with air quality sensors

Are there any regulatory requirements for smoking areas?

Yes – depending on the state, the following apply, among others:

  • Non-smoker protection laws (e.g., separation of smoking and non-smoking areas)
  • Workplace guidelines for the protection of employees
  • Oxytec systems support compliance through targeted air purification and odor neutralization, even without physical separation.

Can the success of air purification be measured?

Yes. We offer:

  • VOC measurements, odor assessments, or sensor monitoring
  • Visible effects (less deposits, no odor pollution)
  • Optional air quality displays in the room for monitoring and transparency
