> マスクをして、花粉を鼻から吸わないようにしています

It has the general meaning of "they use masks so that they don't breathe
pollen through their noses". My question is about the

> 吸わないようにしています

part. Which conjugation is this? 吸わない comes from 吸う (to breathe in). What
about ようにしています?

Which conjugation is this? 吸わないようにしています
吸わ(未然形 of verb 吸う) + ない(auxiliary verb which means "negative") + ように(連用形 of
auxiliary verb ようだ which means "analogy" + し(連用形 of verb する) +
て(postpositional particle) + い(連用形 of subsidiary verb いる) + ます(auxiliary verb
which means "politeness")

And て + いる is used together as one word ている.
