Third Hand Smoke
Eve has came across this term 'third hand smoke' and she told me the implications of this for humans, especially for children. This is so shocking. All of us know about second hand smoke, which causes harm to the lungs for those passer-bys, and those who breathe cigarette smoke. However, smoking is more lethal than that. Third hand smoke actually means the tobacco remnants that settle down after floating in the air. This means it can land on anywhere! Possible places Hair Clothes Carpets Shoes Hands Handphone Skin Beds EVERYWHERE! Imagine our couch has those third hand smoke! And our children lie down on it, and the nose sniff into the couch cover. How terrible is that? Moreover, children are even more susceptible to these, because we carry them, and they smell our clothings, we touch them with our hands etc. From this acquired knowledge, I just feel that one should not even think of smoking at all. It's really an irresponsible behaviour. Sorry to the smoke...
