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.
