Still has carcinogens. This is more how I see it. A chain smoker that goes outside and smokes, so they dont have it near their family. The smell is still on their clothes though, and their family would be exposed to it.

I dont really see how there could be enough exposure for it to be dangerous, but whatever.

I'm not sure if the whole 3rd hand smoke thing is that big of a pile of shit.

I developed asthma from my mum smoking around me, clearly 2nd hand smoke. And when I went to the doctor because I hadn't been able to breath for a few weeks, I had to take a weird test thingy. And then the doctor asked me if anybody smoked around me, and I said my mum, she started to talk about how to make my asthma better. One of the things she told me is not to have her smoke around me or even in the car anymore.
Common sense, right?

But then she went on to tell me that she should even change her clothes when coming back inside after smoking. Because it can linger on the clothes and even that could give me breathing problems.

We never really thought of it as "3rd hand smoke" then, but now it kinda makes sense.

My mum doesn't really smoke around me anymore. But she doesn't change her clothes or anything and i still have minor problems breathing around her.

Maybe after a very long time.

My uncle used to be a chain smoker. He never smoked around me, but any time I went to his house I ended up having some breathing problems because of how deep in the smoke has settled throughout the house.

For God's sake. The government are just scare-mongering, everything can kill us according to some study or another. If you live your life worrying about things like third hand smoke then you'll live a very dull existence.

I agree. It's one of those "life is dangerous, even walking out you're front door" things. There are sooo many things that could potentially hurt us that if we tried to stay away from all of them.. well we wouldn't be able to move in fear of stubbing out toe and getting a blood blister
