- Wrong!
The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control guidelines for Article 8 clearly indicate that even the best ventilation systems cannot remove smoke pollutants and are ineffective in protecting from secondhand smoke.
The tobacco industry has promoted the installation and use of expensive ventilation systems and equipment, in an attempt to accommodate smokers and non-smokers in the same indoor enclosed spaces.
Ventilation systems do not protect health. Only a 100% smoke-free environment protects the public from exposure to second-hand smoke.
