third hand smoke alert

Thanks for the handy housecleaning tip!

The Paranoia Police march on!

Why didn't all babies, from the 1920s through the 1970s all die; or get terrible diseases from, good grief, " thirdhand" smoke, then?

[beaversmom]

OMGoodness, I think my head is going to explode. I've got to send this one to Dennis Prager. Second hand smoke wasn't good enough for them now they've got third hand smoke to worry about.

I've been checking out things lately on Craigslist and selling/giving away a few items. The big thing you see on Craig's and E-bay is "it comes from my smoke free home". I bought a ceramic piece on E-bay and the person posted the "smoke free home" business about the pottery. Like I care about a piece of pottery coming from a smoke free house but I guess some loon out there is worried about it.

Also on Craig's someone was selling some baby rice cereal that they had bought too much of. It was still in the box and had the plastic around it. They stated it came from their "smoke free home". It was still packaged for goodness sake. What was it going to do--sneak under the plastic and through the cardboard? It's crazy.

My mother smoked ALOT when she was pregnant and our whole lives...my brother ended up dying of lung cancer...Who knows?

[Unruly Human]

the little buggers absorb it?

I guess I won't need that Sharper Image Air Purifier now.

[freepatriot32]

when will the first laws be passed against exposing your child to third hand smoke and how many (tens of?)thousands of freepers will support those laws?

Babies may absorb smoke residue in home

For some reason, that headline puts me in mind of Michael Myers in a fat suit, funky red muttonchop sideburns, a glengarry cap and tartan shorts, bellowing...

"Get! In! Mah! Belly!"

Rumor has it that my dad was smoking when I was CONCEIVED. Top that! I probably have Marlboro in my DNA.

"thirdhand" smoke
ROFL!

[Chena]

Oh good grief. I'm all for not smoking around children, but these paranoid schizoids are taking this issue beyond the realm of commonsense.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

BUMP

Babies will also absorb your fart fumes, the fumes from cars driving down the street, the fmes from jets flying in the sky above, cock roach farts, pollen from rag weed, cookie fumes, , doughnut fumes, and fumes from Alamists on MSM talk shows.

Hide your babies in a bubble people. Someone may cough and give the poor tyke a cold, or worse.
Bubbles are available with complete air make up and filtration systems, and sterilized tv's, appliances, linen, clothing are all available at www.liveinabubble.com. When they turn 18, you can hook up to bubble dating service and select a disease free wife or husband for you child.

[ladyinred]

ROTFL! Of course, this will become writ now, no matter ridiculous it is.

[Mogollon]

Though scientists have extensive evidence about the damage caused by secondhand smoke,

Junk scientists maybe.

[MissouriConservative]

"If their parents use tobacco, that curiosity may expose babies to what some doctors are calling "thirdhand" smoke - particles and gases given off by cigarettes that cling to walls, clothes and even hair and skin."

And my Aunt may be my uncle is she stitched on a pair of testicles, but it ain't happening.

Seriously, these scientists are always coming up with these doom and gloom theories. They are doing it for one reason, and one reason only.....they need more funding. When the donations and grant money are running low, BINGO! we get another reason why we all are going to die tomorrow if these scientists don't get funding.

My theory on "global warming" is that it is caused by all the hot air coming from these scientists and Al Gore. Duct tape their mouths and we will have another ice age before you can spit.
