Third Hand Smoke

In recent scientific discoveries, there is a type of new health hazard called third hand smoke. This was found out by using a tool to measure exposure to tobacco products including second hand smoke. Third hand smoke refers to tobacco smoke contamination that remains a while after the cigarette has been smoked. Now the toxins and chemicals stay on materials such as hair, clothing, inside cars, carpets, beds, sofas and curtains. Although this is a discovered health hazard, it is a distinct one. Until now, more than fifty percent of smokers were unaware of the hazard caused.
