Cigarette-type smoke doesn’t trigger smoke alarms.
- belthesar 2y agoIt really depends on the kind of smoke alarm. I'm sure most home style smoke alarms aren't set off by that, since they're usually an ionization style detector. Photoelectric detectors can be far more sensitive though. Moreso, I imagine the detection has less to do with the type of smoke, and the density of it. Directly exhaling into a smoke alarm can set off the detector, when the smoke is at its most dense.
