Second-hand Smoke
There are always health risks associated with second-hand smoke. Second-hand smoke is smoke coming from a cigarette and the smoke a tobacco user exhales that can be inhaled by others. Cigarette smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, some of which cause cancer. Simply leaving the area where someone is smoking or opening a window does not prevent others from breathing in second-hand smoke. Second-hand smoke causes respiratory problems, ear infections, more frequent asthma attacks, and an increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome in children & heart disease, lung cancer, and an increased risk for stroke in adults.
Third-hand Smoke
Third-hand smoke is toxins from cigarette smoke that sticks to surfaces such as furniture, carpet, clothing, hair & skin, car upholstery, curtains, and more. These toxins stick around long after a cigarette has been put out. Third-hand smoke exposes people to the same toxins in tobacco smoke, which includes cancer causing substances. Third-hand smoke can harm the health of your loved ones and can even harm pets.
