You've heard of secondhand smoke...have you heard of thirdhand smoke? #thirdhandsmoke #secondhandsmoke #smokefree #tobaccofree #livesmokefree #notobacco #kickbutts #stopsmoking #toxic #quitsmoking #kickthehabit #tobaccoendgame #1800QUITNOW #pethealth #childhealth #KickItCA
Thirdhand smoke is the toxic chemical residue left behind after someone smokes or vapes tobacco. Thirdhand smoke contains toxic chemicals that can stick on surfaces and objects. This residue can be released back into the air or accumulate in house dust. Exposure to thirdhand smoke chemicals is harmful to one’s health, especially children and pets.
