“The previous tenant smoked cigars indoors for three years. Can an aerosol spray or scented reed diffuser fix this room before the next lease begins?”
No. Aerosols, diffusers, and standard candles are chemically incapable of destroying tobacco tar. Nicotine and burnt resin molecules condense onto drywall, window gaskets, and carpet padding. Spraying fragrance over an active smoke surface simply creates perfumed tobacco residue. The moment indoor humidity climbs above 60% in Florida, the tar re-hydrates and off-gases again.
You need chemical oxidation. Our 5000 mg/h ozone generator uses high-voltage corona discharge across a ceramic plate to convert atmospheric O2 into O3. Ozone is an aggressive oxidizer that reacts directly with tobacco terpenes, sulfur compounds, and volatile organic acids, cleaving their carbon bonds into carbon dioxide and harmless trace moisture.
