Third-hand smoke and its harmful effects on children
The dangers of smoking and exposure to smoke have been well-documented for many years. Researchers have recently discovered third-hand smoke. It is the residue of tobacco smoke that remains on surfaces and in the air after a cigarette is smoked. It sticks to almost everything in a smoking area, including skin, hair, clothes, furniture, floors, dust, car seats, and pet hair and feathers. Inhaling third-hand smoke gases or touching contaminated surfaces can expose people to these chemicals.
