Recently ran across denunciations of "third-hand smoke." This is an environment where people have been smoking and tobacco constituents have settled out onto surfaces. The primary symptom of which is the tobacco smoke odor lingers.

Claims are made that it will be deadly, primarily to children.

The kicker that there is absolutely no evidence to this effect is that the articles call for studies to prove the effect.

Anybody who knows the subject is aware that there is, contrary to popular opinion, absolutely nothing uniquely hazardous or toxic about tobacco smoke. It's really remarkably similar to smoke from burning any other plant. Inhale campfire smoke in the same quantities and you'll develop similar symptoms.

It's just that no other plant has ever succeeded in inducing large numbers of people to inhale its smoke at anything close to the dosages tobacco has. Even MJ users seldom smoke anything like the quantities a heavy cigarette smoker will.

That’s what I was talking about. I think. Yet in Colorado, the recent okay for pot isn’t an issue? I guess even if there is a harmful(definition required because there could be a lot?) side effect from inhaling pot smoke, who’s gonna care? Dude!

Campfires can KILL!

Those wise queers were correct - keep the boy scouts in the tents with the nice queer scoutmasters and away from the dangerous campfire smoke.

It is for the good of teh boy scouts, they tell us.

Brother, does you believe?
