Can you smell smoking upstairs and downstairs? Is it illegal to smoke in the corridors of residentia

If you smoke upstairs, you won't smell it downstairs, because the density of smoke is smaller than that of air, so the smoke drifts upward, and you won't smell smoke in your downstairs life.

The smoke that the smoker has just breathed out of his mouth has a higher temperature than the surrounding air, and the density is relatively small, and it should float upwards in the absence of wind, and the smoke cannot be smelled downstairs, but if a gust of wind blows at this time, the smoke may be smelled downstairs.

Upstairs, if you smoke in the room, you can't smell it downstairs if you don't open the door.

It's best to use an air purifier at home to get rid of the smell of smoke.

There are more people smoking upstairs, and the smell of smoke spreads into the air downstairs through the corridors. People who don't smoke downstairs will smell smoke.

Because the density of smoke is smaller than that of air, the smoke drifts upward, and life downstairs will definitely not smell smoke."

Generally speaking, he can't smell it, unless he is standing on that balcony and smoking, or he gets the smoke out of the window, and the window is also open, so he can smell it.

When he could smell it, the concentration of the gas pollutant containing the smell of smoke was already quite high, and a downstairs resident in Taiwan once sued the upstairs resident in court, claiming that the upstairs resident was smoking on the balcony and the smoke affected his life. In the end, the downstairs tenant won the lawsuit and received NT$20,000 in compensation.

If you smoke upstairs, if there is a gust of wind blowing, you can drift the smell of the smoke downstairs. So that the people downstairs can smell a very strong smoke.

Mainly due to problems caused by range hoods. When the range hood is opened downstairs, the pressure on the upper floor of the common flue is greater than that downstairs, so the oil smoke enters the downstairs from the upstairs, which is also due to the fact that the range hood downstairs is not equipped with a check valve, if it is installed, it can be more effective to prevent this phenomenon from happening.

The suspension height of fine particles in the air is related to the local air pressure, wind speed, diameter of suspended particles, etc., and this height is not the same in different places.

The height is higher where the wind speed is large, otherwise on the contrary, the particle diameter is larger, the suspension height is low, the diameter is smaller, the suspension height is high, the air pressure is high, and the suspension height is low.

You can sprinkle a layer of cement road ash on the gaps of the partition, or seal the gaps of the floor back board with asphalt-like hot melt adhesive like asphalt, and then pave the floor, so that there will be few smoke smells infiltrating the room downstairs in the future.

Of course, there is also the possibility of being smelled.

Hello, this depends on the degree of sealing of the floor and whether there are windows to determine whether there are any.

1. Check the exhaust hose of the range hood and the exhaust port seal on the wall.

2. Check whether the valve at the connection between the range hood and the exhaust hose to prevent backfilling is greasy with the fume.

Under normal circumstances, there will always be a little backwind coming in, but it should not be very big, if you find that the smell is strong, you will also turn on the range hood to be better. Or add a windshield to the flue, which is sold.

Legal analysis: Smoking in the corridor of the community is also a violation of the smoking ban. Many smokers don't realize that the corridors of residential buildings in the community are also non-smoking areas.

There are the main reasons why the fumes in the upstairs flue will go downstairs:

1.The seal is not good, and the smoke exhaust pipe and the common flue are not sealed properly, resulting in the smoke leaking out of the gap.

2.Failure of the smoke machine, such as the inflexible opening and closing of the exhaust check valve, resulting in the flue gas cannot be discharged smoothly.

3.Flue problems, such as blockages or cracks in the flue, prevent flue gas from exiting smoothly.

4.The design of the public flue is unreasonable, such as the public flue is too narrow or curved, resulting in greater resistance to the exhaust of the flue gas.

5.Improper use by the upstairs residents, such as excessive oil smoke generated during cooking, makes it difficult to exhaust the smoke.

6.Natural factors, such as low air pressure, make it difficult for the flue gas to escape.

Therefore, if the fumes from the upstairs flue reach downstairs, it may be due to one of the many reasons mentioned above. To address this issue, a combination of measures may be required, including replacing the smoke extraction equipment, cleaning the flue, strengthening the seal, modifying the common flue design, and repairing cracked pipes.

It could be a range hood in your home.

There is no check smoke valve, generally speaking, it will be installed for you when you install the range hood. Check valves.

It will allow you to vent smoke outside, preventing smoke from the flue from entering the room. Two dollars a piece, buy it and install it no problem.

Because the floor flue is connected, if the check valve is not pressed, there will be smoke flowing down.

According to the nodal pressure equilibrium law, the fluid must flow in the direction of the pressure position, which is also the reason why the oil smoke in the upstairs flue will go downstairs.

The smell of smoke in the bathroom is generally the smell of people downstairs smoking and coming back from the sewer. Drifting into the bathroom from common pipes, such as floor drains and sewer pipes.
