What is the requirement for air exchanges in a designated smoking room per smoker?

The requirement for air exchanges in a designated smoking room per smoker is 60 cubic feet. This standard is established to ensure adequate ventilation, which is crucial in maintaining air quality and safety for both smokers and non-smokers. The 60 cubic feet allows for the dilution of smoke, minimizing its concentration and impact on health.

A designated smoking area needs to comply with strict regulations to provide a controlled environment where smoking can occur while protecting the health of other residents and staff in the facility. By following this guideline, facilities can balance the needs of smokers with the health considerations of the entire community, ensuring a safer and more pleasant atmosphere within assisted living environments.
