We love to ingest smoke the old-fashioned way: straight into our lungs. Second-hand smoke will do in a pinch. But third-hand smoke? What kind of smoking hysteria is that?
According to a new study in [I]Pediatrics[/I], just being in a room where the evil cancer sticks were once lit is like taking a stroll through Chernobyl.
Freaked out scientists warn:
Small children are especially susceptible to third-hand smoke exposure because they can inhale near, crawl and play on, or touch and mouth contaminated surfaces. Third-hand smoke can remain indoors even long after the smoking has stopped. Similar to low-level lead exposure, low levels of tobacco particulates have been associated with cognitive deficits among children, and the higher the exposure level, the lower the reading score.
​
You know what else lowers the reading score? Video games.
Whatever. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
