Wildfire smoke now reaches cities hundreds of miles from any fire. On those hazy days, a plan matters far more than anything in a bottle — including BreathiZen.
On smoky days, check the Air Quality Index on AirNow. Above 100, sensitive groups should cut back outdoor exertion; above 150, everyone should. Stay indoors with windows closed, run a HEPA air purifier, avoid adding indoor smoke, and follow any local health advice. BreathiZen is an everyday supplement, not protection from smoke.
Reading the AQI on BreathiZen mornings
The Air Quality Index runs from 0 to 500. Under 50 is good. From 101 people in sensitive groups — children, older adults, and anyone with heart or lung conditions — should limit long or heavy outdoor activity. Above 150, everyone should.
Air Quality Index bands (upper limit)
AQI bands as defined by EPA AirNow. Bar height shows the top of each band.

Order BreathiZenWhat BreathiZen can and cannot do on smoke days
Your usual four pumps are fine to continue, but BreathiZen does not filter smoke or protect your lungs from it. Reducing exposure is what counts.
When smoke means a doctor, not BreathiZen
Get medical help for chest pain, wheezing, severe coughing or shortness of breath. If you have asthma or COPD, follow your action plan and keep rescue medicine close.

BreathiZen questions
Should I wear a mask on smoke days?
A well-fitted N95 can reduce smoke exposure outdoors; cloth masks do little. Follow local advice.
Does BreathiZen protect against smoke?
No. It is a daily supplement, not protection.
