Ask HN: Glasses with lights that flash whenever they detect cigarette smoke?
I’ve been thinking about a wearable that could make cigarette smoke more visible in public settings. Imagine glasses that flash lights whenever they detect cigarette smoke.

The goal isn’t for the wearer to detect cigarette smoke—they can already smell it—but to:

* Alert others that there’s secondhand smoke in the area.

* Show smokers how far their smoke travels, making the invisible visible.

What do you think of this idea?
