Supersensitive smoke alarms warn us of the presence of smoke only.

But what would be the applications of a smoker-SMELL-only alarm?

It's all too horrible to contemplate - a robot that bongs at your front door just because you sneaked a drag in the loo three hours ago.

"Turn the dam' thing off. I didn't know it was going to be like this."

       Sorry PeterSealy. I didn't see sign : "This is a 'no joking' zone".

       Why would you need this if you had simply banned smoking anywhere there is oxygen?

       Hmmm, // a robot that bongs at your front door just because you sneaked a drag in the loo //   

       rayfo, I know it's unintentional, but that's funny.   

       waugs, you don't have to put the francified (u) in words where yo(u)r local dialect doesn't. I have never understood why the US and Canada don't drop the U in your?
