WASHINGTON (AFP) - You know smoking is bad for you. You know inhaling someone else's smoke is bad for you. Now a US study says third-hand smoke -- tobacco residue clinging to surfaces -- is also bad for you.

Smokers at Tampa International Airport are seen taking advantage of the airport's smoking area. When a cigarette burns, nicotine is released in the form of a vapor that collects and condenses on indoor surfaces such as walls, carpeting, drapes and furniture, where it can linger for months, said the study, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).(AFP/File/Paul J. Richards) When a cigarette burns, nicotine is released in the form of a vapor that collects and condenses on indoor surfaces such as walls, carpeting, drapes and furniture, where it can linger for months, said the study, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

Second-hand smoke is bad, and now third hand smoke is too. Got it.
But what about smoke exposure ... of the Fourth Kind?
To: Jim from C-Town
4th hand smoke is probably 10 billion times worse.
I think everybody should smoke to avoid being killed by 2nd and 3rd hand smoke.

This is a second story that was originally run in the middle of the night yesterday. I thought this was important due to the fact that it is a start of more bashing on smokers.
BTW: I am a nonsmoker. I quit a few years ago. But this is about as scientifically honest as Anthropogenic Global Warming. IE: Not at all!

How will we survive?
The only thing that could possibly be worse would be if they found out that sunlight causes cancer. Then where would we be??

4th-hand smoke is where the
cigarettes smoke you. It's the worst kind of smoke.
To: Jim from C-Town
Well I don’t have a third hand, so I don’t have anything to worry about.

I thought it was tar that was bad for you.
Just another push study to give more power to the authoritarian left.

That covers under “knowing a guy who once knew someone who was exposed to someone who smoked...”

cigarette smoke stinks!

What’s bad for us is all the smoke that’s being blown up our collective ass by these so called experts.

If this country didn’t have junk science we’d have no science at all.

Not to worry. When the guy eventually dies, he'll be counted in the "smoking-related death" category - along with everyone else.
