Tobacco Smoke contamination lingering on furniture, clothes and other surfaces, dubbed thirdhand Smoke, may react with indoor air chemicals to form potential cancer-causing substances, a study found. After exposing a piece of paper to Smoke, researchers found the sheet had levels of newly formed carcinogens that were 10 times higher after three hours in the presence of an indoor air chemical called nitrous acid commonly emitted by household appliances or cigarette Smoke. That means people may face a risk from indoor tobacco Smoke in a way that’s never been recognized before, said one of the study’s authors, Lara Gundel. Read the full Bloomberg article here. ...

Most everyone knows the dangers of smoking. We can all intuitively appreciate the dangers of second Hand Smoke (breathing in the Smoke from a person near you who is smoking). But researchers are just now beginning to understand the dangers of Third Hand Smoke. What is Third Hand Smoke? Third Hand Smoke is traces cigarette or cigar use that remain in the environment after a person has put out the cigarette or cigar. What happens is that the Smoke interacts with surfaces in the environment to produce something called tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs). These TSNAs are cancer-causing agents, TSNAs can linger in a environment for weeks or more, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science online on Feb 8 by Hugo Destaillatas and others. This is just one more reason to stop smoking and to not hang out in environments in which people have been smoking (like cars and bars).

Nicotine residues will stick to a smoker's skin and clothing, and these residues follow a smoker back into the community he or she mixes with and get spread everywhere. The biggest risk is to young children. The only socially responsible solution not to risk people around you from second-Hand or Third-Hand Smoke is really to kick out the habit of smoking.

I’ve blogged before about my feelings and experiences on first- and second-Hand tobacco Smoke . . . but I have to admit I was kinda’ surprised this past week to learn there’s such a thing as Third-Hand Smoke — tobacco Smoke contamination that lingers in the environment after a cigarette has been extinguished. A quick Google™ search reveals that many people, “particularly smokers, have no idea that Third-Hand Smoke — the cocktail of toxins that linger in carpets, sofas, clothes and other materials hours or even days after a cigarette is put out — is a health hazard for infants and children.” In other words, long after the second-Hand Smoke has cleared. In retrospect, I’ve known about Third-Hand Smoke for a long time; I just didn’t know it was called that. For example, I’ve been requesting non-smoking rooms at hotels and motels for years, because there’s no question the smell of second-Hand tobacco Smoke can permeate a room . . . and it’s especially gross in a pillow. Now imagine that’s what infants and toddlers are breathing in when they crawl and play on carpets infused with Third-Hand Smoke. In another more recent example, I rented a car from a national chain where the contract spelled out that a hefty cleaning fee would be charged for those who smoked in the car. Very interesting, and yes, I also now request non-smoking rental cars. The Google page I read indicated there are no studies yet that, unlike second-Hand Smoke, directly tie th ...

What is Third-Hand Smoke? A term first coined by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital for Children in Boston in 2009, Third-Hand Smoke represents the toxic residue left behind on surfaces that have been exposed to tobacco Smoke. Third-Hand Smoke poses a danger to anyone, but most especially small children who might touch contaminated surfaces and then put their hands in their mouths, thus ingesting the toxins. Results of a recent study led by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, but also involving researchers from Portland State University and the University of California, San Francisco has revealed another serious danger associated with this relatively new health hazard. It appears that when the nicotine in Third-Hand Smoke mixes with a common pollutant called nitrous acid in homes created by unvented gas appliances, tobacco-specific N-nitrosamines (TSNAs) are formed. TSNAs are known to be some of the most potent carcinogens present in smokeless tobacco, snuff and tobacco Smoke, and are associated with several forms of cancer, including lung, oral, esophageal, liver and pancreatic cancers.
