I wonder what Rush has to say about this. And I'm still waiting to hear how tobacco smoke is so bad but pot smoke isn't.

[Gaffer]

Well. I believe that third-hand homo residue is dangerous.

[mmichaels1970]

And thirdhand smoke is difficult to eliminate

Sounds like a business opportunity.

National Geographic is hazardous to your mental health - first, second, and third hand exposure is toxic.

[babygene]

What’s next? Fourth hand smoke I suppose...

[rktman]

So, never buy a “2nd hand couch” from a consignment shop if it has the faint odor of tobacco smoke? I’ll probably be sued by my former work buddies because my clothes smelled like cig smoke now? Goin’ in to hiding.

Its a shame whats happened to NatGeo. Like so many other institutions it ain’t the magazine it used to be.

I confess that the first thing I did when I read the headline was to check if this was from a satire site.

It should be.

[cuban leaf]

I’m still looking for solid evidence that second hand smoke is dangerous to anyone other than your cat.

[Mears]

The beat goes on——and on——and on.

I smoke cigars. My smoke shop has a lounge where guys congregate. One of them is a surgeon. He’s there every day. He says it relaxes him and 2nd hand smoke danger is bologna. That’s enough for me.

They just don’t know when to stop, do they?

[servantboy777]

Oh good grief!!! We are all gonna die of something. These liberals love dreamin up stuff to keep people in a state of fear.

OSHA will soon issue guidelines for emptying ashtrays at places like Joe's Bar and Grill:

And yet the putative negative effects of second hand smoke have been completely debunked:

And I'm still waiting to hear how tobacco smoke is so bad but pot smoke isn't.

For the same reason that pot is bad but alcohol isn't. Nanny staters think their own poisons are fine but everything else should be criminalized.

[Lazamataz]

I’m much more concerned about 5th-hand smoke, whereinwhich any tobacco plant exists anywhere in the universe.

BAN 5TH-HAND SMOKE NOW!

[Smokin' Joe]

Maybe it isn't the smoke so much as the chemicals in the fabrics, degenerating cushioning materials, the wood, vinyl, etc. Maybe the smoke even mitigates the effects of all that other stuff...

Like third-hand perfume, or hand lotion or any of a host of other substances...

[Boomer One]

Seems to me a recent study said that second hand smoke was not harmful despite years of our government saying it was. Frankly, if second hand or third hand smoke was so bad, I should be dead. During my college years I worked part time in a pool hall to get spending money. There were days the smoke haze was so dense it hung around the top of the tables. The situation finally got so bad even the smokers complained and the owner was forced to put in an exhaust fan. I still remember the smell on my clothes and my tongue feeling like I licked an ash tray when I went home.

Hotel workers who sweep, vacuum, change linens, and dust the rooms of smokers

I haven't been in a hotel that allows smoking in years.
