How many types of smoke are there?

Answer 1

There are two types of smoking. Passive smoking and regular smoking. Passive smoking is when a person smokes and you can inhale it by passing by them. Regular smoking is when you inhale directly from the cigarette, pipe, or cigar.

Answer 2

Smoke AlarmsTwo types of smoke alarms are available for home use. They are:

The ionization type, which is the simplest, most commonly used and is usually the least expensive. This type reacts quicker to flaming fires.

The second type is photo-electric, which reacts quicker to smoldering fires. Commercial photoelectric smoke alarms can also be used to cover large areas using point-to-point lasers.

Other types of fire detectors, which are most often used in businesses and public buildings, are:

Thermal - detect heat in a room

Manual - has to be manually pulled to set off the alarm.

Water-flow - Activated when a fire sprinkler has started flowing.

Interconnected - This is a system that interconnects all the smoke alarms in a building so when one goes off, they all go off.

Hard-wired Control Panel - Smoke and heat sensors (and other fire sensors) that are connected to a central panel where any sensor will set off a facility alarm and be communicated to fire dispatchers.

The Lighter SideThere are two types: the one that works and the one that doesn't.

There is the one you bought and installed, and the one you wish you had.
