FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:
Third Hand Smoke is also very bad for you: [PNAS] The National Academy of Sciences.
When a cigarette burns , nicotine is released in the form of a vapor that collects and condenses on indoor surfaces such as walls, carpeting, drapes and furniture, where it can linger for months, said the study, which was published by the Academy.
Opening windows to air out the room while a cigarette burns does not eliminate the hazards of third hand smoke. And smoking outdoors doesn't help either, because while smoking outside the nicotine residues will stick to the smokers skin and clothing and these residues will follow this smoker back into the house permeating throughout the house as though he smoked inside.
The biggest risk is to the young children and pets who are forced to breathe the third hand smoke residue.

According to Open Secrets.org, The tabbacco lobby over the last 20 years has given 75% of their contributions to republicans. $63 million in total. Light em up and VOTE Republican.
That just means that above all else, the tobacco industry is a business, and they know Republicans are pro-business while Democrats work overtime at coming up with methods to destroy businesses and entrepreneurial opportunities!
