“3rd-Hand Smoke” Poses Health Threat
Cigarette smoke that clings to walls and furniture could cause DNA damage and potentially cancer according to new research.
Scientists at  the University of California, Berkeley say second-hand smoke can linger indoors and then react with indoor pollutants…creating brand new compounds that can cause DNA to mutate.
Researchers say the best way to get rid of this “third hand smoke” is to remove contaminated items, like sofas and carpets.
