Absolutely....It's a "smoke" detector.

Smoke detectors are designed to detect the presence of smoke particles in the air, regardless of what is causing the smoke. This means that smoke detectors may detect weed smoke, as it is still smoke in the air. However, the sensitivity of the detector and the specific composition of the weed smoke may affect how quickly and reliably it is detected.
The element used in smoke detectors and named after the US is Americium (Am). It is a radioactive element commonly found in household smoke detectors to detect smoke particles in the air.
Americium has been used in smoke detectors since the 1950s. Its radioactive properties make it ideal for ionizing smoke particles in the detector, allowing it to quickly detect smoke and trigger the alarm.
The synthetic element used in smoke detectors is usually Americium-241. It emits alpha particles which ionize the air in the detector, allowing it to detect smoke and trigger the alarm.
Americium is primarily used in smoke detectors to detect smoke by ionizing air particles. It is also used in some medical devices for radiation therapy and in some industrial measurements for material analysis.
Yes, technetium is a synthetic element, but it is rarely used in smoke detectors. The element americium is more commonly used in smoke detectors because of its radioactivity, which helps detect smoke particles in the air.
