In daily life, many friends have the habit of smoking, and when they finish smoking, they will leave an unpleasant smell of smoke indoors. Especially when there are many people, the whole room will become smoky, and these second-hand smoke not only affects the quality of the living environment, but also may pose a potential threat to the health of the family. When there is smoke indoors, I believe that many friends will choose to open the window for ventilation, but if it is inconvenient to open the window for ventilation, how to quickly eliminate the smoke smell in the room? Don't worry, I'm going to share a few tips with you today, as long as you use a few common items at home, you can make the originally smoky indoor air fresh. Let's follow me to find out!
1. The dangers of secondhand smoke
When smoking, a large amount of smoke is produced, and people in the same room inhale this smoke will pose a serious threat to human health. Because secondhand smoke contains thousands of harmful substances, including tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide, a variety of carcinogens and heavy metals. When these substances are inhaled by the human body, the first thing that directly affects the respiratory system is the respiratory system. People who are exposed to secondhand smoke for a long time are more likely to suffer from chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Due to the imperfect development of the respiratory system, children are more sensitive to secondhand smoke, which is more likely to cause asthma, respiratory infections and other problems. In addition, if a pregnant woman is exposed to secondhand smoke for a long time during pregnancy or lactation, harmful substances in her body will be transmitted to the fetus or baby through the bloodstream, affecting the normal development of the fetus. Long-term exposure to secondhand smoke may also affect children's cognitive ability and academic performance, leading to problems such as poor concentration and memory loss.
2. Methods for eliminating indoor smoke
1: Candle method.
Speaking of candles, everyone is familiar with them, and I believe many families will also have them. For example, there are unused candles left over from your birthday, or some candle aromatherapy or something like that. In fact, candles can also be used to eliminate smoke from smoking. We only need to light a few candles in a smoke-filled room, and after a while, we will clearly feel that the smoke in the room has been eliminated. In fact, this is because when the candle is burned, the flame will heat the surrounding air, causing the smoke particles in the air (including nicotine, tar and other harmful substances) to react physically or chemically with the carbon particles or aroma molecules released by the candle, and then be adsorbed, decomposed or converted into other harmless substances.
2: White vinegar method.
We start with half a basin of water, then pour a little more white vinegar into it, and then add a few drops of toilet water. After that, prepare a clean towel and put it in this water. Rub the towel briefly so that the towel fully absorbs the water. Next, wring the towel into a semi-dry state.
Finally, we hang the towels on hangers and dry them in a smoke-filled room. The nicotine in cigarettes itself is water-soluble and dissolves when it comes into contact with a wet towel. The white vinegar in the towel can neutralize the alkaline substances in the second-hand smoke, so that the smoke can be dissipated. Not only that, but the toilet water in the towel will also give off a fragrance that not only covers the smell of smoke, but also makes the air in the house more fragrant.
3: Orange peel method.
Oranges are a type of fruit that we often eat, and when we eat oranges, the peel is usually peeled off and thrown away. But in fact, orange peel also has the effect of eliminating the smell of smoke. All we need to do is prepare one or two fresh orange peels, then cut them into small pieces and put them in a container, then pour boiling water into them and use the boiling water to soak the orange peels.
After soaking for about ten minutes, when the water is not hot, filter the orange peel water into the watering can. Finally, spray the orange peel water into a smoke-filled room, and it will effectively eliminate the smell of smoke. The reason why orange peel has this effect is actually because there is orange sesame oil in orange peel, after soaking in boiling water, the orange sesame oil component will be soaked in water, and we spray this water in the air, it can cover the smoke smell, so that we can not smell the unpleasant smell of smoke.
