What you are talking about was in the news a while back, and a few days later a correction was issued by many news outlets because they had inplied that this risk from purifiers that produce ozone was unhealthy. There are different kinds of air purifiers, and the most common ones like the one that I have are not the dangerous kind.
I'm sorry that you feel the need to call me ignorant. For your information, I did vote in this last election. I am a pro-life conservative that simply wants to be able to breathe some relatively clean air in my apartment.
The problem could so easily be solved if the smoker would simply go outside to smoke. I know of other smokers in this complex that do just that and as far as I can tell their lives haven't ended because of it.
And part of the problem of global warming could so easily be solved if all of us would just breathe into (and out of) a plastic bag.
You go first.
