Abstract
A table having a table top having a top surface. Grilles are provided in the table top and are in flow communication with an electrostatic precipitator for purifying the air. The electrostatic precipitator collects the smoke particles on a filter, the clean, filtered air being discharged at low velocity back into the room. This table equipped with air cleaner and filter prevents smoke generated by smokers and in ashtrays from diffusing throughout the room by capturing the smoke close to the source of the impurities.
