Third-hand smoking!

We all know (I hope) that there's such a thing as second-hand smoke, which you get when you hand around smokers and breath in the smoke. This is actually supposed to be more toxic and poisonous than the smoking yourself, so we have learnt to stay far far away from cigarette smoke.

And now scientists tells us that there's third-hand smoke! Poisonous particles can stay on a smoker's clothes, hair and surrounding, which makes it dangerous for children who pick up things to suck or lick. Even breathing near such area can inhale these poisons!

Run for your lives (literally) if you see the smoke coming!
