Ventilation and smoke filters for pubs,clubs and restaurants.
Smoke filters and ventilation systems for the removal of Tobacco Smoke. Increasingly consumers are expressing their preference, by voting with their feet, to eat and drink in a smoke free environment. The installation of air filtration smoke filters and ventilation equipment leads to customers staying longer. In a recent survey 32% said they would stay at a pub longer if it had good ventilation to eliminate the tobacco smoke. Additionally customers tend to visit more regularly and are more likely to increase spending on food, leading to increased revenue. This means that any equipment installed to deal with tobacco smoke will typically pay for itself over a few months, if not weeks.
For staff clean air is also an important issue and can determine where people decide to work, since in addition to the risks of passive smoking, tobacco smoke also causes itchy eyes headaches and smelly clothes. More importantly current Health and Safety regulations dictate that an employer has a duty of care to his staff and must do whatever is practical to safeguard their health. This includes protecting them from environmental tobacco smoke.
Recent research shows that:
59% of pub goers said that a smoky atmosphere was a problem for them
What is in it for me?
A recent test carried out showed the following results An increase in food sales of 32% An increase in drink sales of 12% An increase of monthly profit of £872 A payback on investment in 10.7 weeks These results were carried out on a test pub and do not necessarily reflect the profit at all pubs. Smoke filters and effective ventilation will improve your bottom line. 
Cleaner air venues really do see their regulars staying longer, bringing friends and family and most importantly, spending more! Word of mouth is important in this business – how about creating a ‘cleaner air’ reputation? 
84.5% of staff described the overall air quality as ‘comfortable’ or ‘very comfortable’. Incidence of smoke smell on clothes more than halved to 31%. Stinging eyes and headaches were reduced by over three quarters to 16% and 4% respectively. Compared to other venues in which the staff had worked 69% stated that the atmosphere was ‘less’ or ‘much less smoky’, while 44% thought the atmosphere was either ‘fairly smoke free’ or ‘smoke free’. 
Using effective ventilation or smoke filters to get rid of the smoke could save you a costly court battle. Staff can sue if they can prove their health has been harmed by exposure to tobacco smoke at work. Although there have been no successful cases to date in the United Kingdom, in 2001, an Australian won a court case against her employer – a social club in New South Wales - and was awarded £164,000 damages. If your staff leave with clothes smelling of smoke or with stinging eyes you could be liable.
