Third Hand Smoke

Third Hand Smoke

We all know what first hand and second hand smoke are, but now researchers have identified a third hand smoke. This is the smoke that lingers on your hair, clothing and even furniture after smoking. I can also smell it on people after they get done smoking and then go into my work office or something. You can still smell it on them even though they are finished smoking. I had never heard of this before, but it makes sense.

I've never heard of this before. It makes sense though because you can still smell the cigarette smoke on people even when they are done smoking. I have family members who smoke and they always stink really bad when they come back inside.

I think it's sad when children of smokers smell as well. My aunt always smokes around her daughter, and my cousin's hair always stinks of cigarette smoke it's sad. We kept telling her not to smoke around her daughter, it's not fair to her. And then she finally stopped.
