Are you annoyed by secondhand smoke?
This website introduces green plants and flowers that can help alleviate the annoyance of secondhand smoke. Next, let's see what our editors have to say.
For non-smokers, being forced to inhale secondhand smoke is indeed frustrating. But there's no way around it – at home or in the office, family members and colleagues often smoke, making the surrounding environment smoky and hard to avoid secondhand smoke.
In fact, it's the same at home. With an elderly smoker in the household, being forced to inhale secondhand smoke daily, choosing to keep these flowers at home can reduce the harm caused by secondhand smoke. Apparently, these flowers are all experts at dealing with secondhand smoke.
1. Crisped mint
Crisped mint, also known as (X-D) grass, can not only absorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, and sulfur dioxide in the room but also effectively absorb smoke and odors, even emitting a pleasant fragrance. It's not only a natural air purifier but also a natural air freshener.
(X-D) grass is easy to cultivate and enjoys充足 sunlight, so it can be placed on the south-facing balcony at home. When watering, keep it moist but avoid waterlogging and root rot.
2. Duckfoot tree
Are you annoyed by secondhand smoke?
The duckfoot tree is a common indoor green plant and a master at absorbing secondhand smoke, capable of absorbing harmful substances like nicotine from the smoke and converting them into essential nutrients. Isn't that impressive?
Cultivating duckfoot trees is relatively simple. They prefer bright, scattered light and are not tolerant of direct strong sunlight. Regularly misting the leaves to increase humidity can help the duckfoot tree grow better.
3. English ivy
The small pores on the leaves of English ivy can effectively absorb smoke and nicotine from the air and convert them into its own substances.
When cultivating English ivy, be mindful of preventing heat stress. When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, its growth is inhibited, so watering should be reduced, and misting should be applied around the plant. Also, ensure good ventilation in the environment.
4. Happy tree
The happy tree is good at absorbing smoke and dust and also absorbs some harmful gases, increasing negative oxygen ions in the air, which is very beneficial to health.
Happy trees prefer a bright environment and are not tolerant of direct strong sunlight. In the summer, regularly misting the surrounding environment can increase air humidity.
