Many smoke detectors on the market are a hazard. Every smoke detector should have a delay switch to stop the alarm for a period of say fifteen minutes, and reset to full capacity automatically. This would discourage people from removing the battery when an alarm occurs due to cooking amongst other reasons. I suggest almost every person has removed batteries from an alarm at some time or another due to an annoying false alarm problem. Smoke alarms without a delay switch should be removed from the market.
Here is a URL to a picture of one smoke detectors. I have two hardwired with silence buttons and three batery operated with silence buttons. The alarm returns to normal after a pause of about 10 minutes. I purchased these at Home Depot, but have seen them in other stores. The cost was under $15.00 if I remember correctly. I annotated the picture for clarity.
