That is the second dumbest thing I have read of in my life. I grew up around smokers and my lungs are fine. I once heard that whole milk is more dangerous than second-hand smoke, it was on one of those Truth commercials so that is most likely bullshit. I also read about a study in which a group of smokers lived just as long as a group of non-smokers.
i can imagine 3rd-hand somoking being dangerous, if for example you hapened to put your mouth over a smoke-laden object and inhale deaply, but i think 3rd-hand smoke would be the least of your worries.
otherwise i call these people imbeceles for beleiving this tripe, and now i will move on with my life

FFS, just buy a bottle of FeBreez and be done with it.
That lingering smell is mainly aromatic compounds. Unpleasant, causes irritation in some unlucky people, but it's hardly the next coming of the antichrist.

OK I know people are going to get pissed at me for saying this but I remain unconvinced that secondhand smoke is that dangerous to non-asthmatics. This third-hand smoke is an incredibly stupid move designed to piss people off at smokers. The reactions to being in a smokers house is from smoke that hasn't completely gone away yet, not residue left in the walls and furniture.
Smoking was never a right. There is no line in the US or Canadian Constitution that grants you the right to smoke. It is not a right, it is a privilege.
The pollution argument is that of a three-year-old. Not only is it totally unrelated to the topic at hand, it's unrealistic, and irrelevant. But you say that people can smoke in places to no ill effect. Did you know that the local wildlife is getting cancer? The toxic shit from your smoke butts, which most of you fucking smokers just toss on the ground instead of dispose of properly, leaks out of the butts when it rains and is polluting the plants and poisoning the animals. Smoking is a vile habit, and the people who smoke are completely oblivious to the damage they do to those around them. I'm not sure if smoking makes people assholes, or if it's just assholes who like to smoke, but smokers are fucking pricks who care only for their nicotine fix, fuck the rest of the world. I just can't wait until cigs are banned completely.[/quote]
---First off smoking can be protected along with a mountian of stupid things under the american constitution's freedom of expression. For your other post, you have serious anger problems, don't you. Just because the cool kids in high school made fun of you for not smoking doesn't mean you need to be an asss to everyone else.

Not really on topic but I'll say this:
After they banned smoking in bars and clubs I find that they smell like farts and sweaty people. I honestly preferred smoke to that.
As for the notion of third hand smoking; show me some real evidence and not a half assed poll, then we can talk.
*lights up a cigarette*

Nice...but over thought the rights given to us can be broken down into hundreds or thousands of things we take for granted, while they are not a expressly given right the nature of them makes them a freedom as valuable as any freedom that's specifically defined as law is driven to become a revenue maker and platform for career politicians everything surrounding the defined freedoms/rights we are given will be mired in so many rules and regulations we might as well live in a fascist totalitarian nation.Khell_Sennet said:
well in theory it shouldnt really stop at third-hand smoking cause it if your rub against someone and pass it on that. It really is taking it to far, also its no different from sneezing into your hands then not "correctly washing" them and i dont see any groups for that. Also if the chemicals are clinging to clothes why do they suddenly detach themselves to "infect" us. Also it is someones right to smoke and second hand smoke (which makes perfect sense) can be stopped by moving away from the smoker or if you know them asking them not to light up.
Being asthmatic, I do think that it is a threat. I can tell if I'm in a place where someone smokes, and it's more difficult to breathe in those places.
However, my opinion shouldn't be taken as scientific fact. Who would quote statistics like that in the news?

There is no such thing as "third-hand smoke" and the evidence demonstrating that second-hand smoke is significantly damaging is pretty lackluster by itself.
There isn't any evidence at all that third-hand smoke is a danger. I call bullshit.

ok fine if you dont want to be called an idiot for the first statement but this one pretty much proves itTerminalchaos said:
pursuit of happiness? what the hell? so if a child rapist is running around and raping kids in his pursuit of happiness then its alright? thats a bad arguement because just because it makes you happy doesnt mean you can do whatever you want particularly if you are harming people/animals
like what is harmful? working in mines? skateboarding? well the fact is that niether hurt and that i believe half of what you are talking about is nessecary or what people do for a living which means they are willingly exposeing themselves, find me someone who doesnt smoke that will say "o you want me to go sniff the smoke that a smoker breathes out? ok" then i will say im wrong
ya cars do give you cancer but find a ciggerate that does ANYTHING other than harm you and that arguement is valid cars take people places, carry heavy things, and such things as that and factorys make things which yet again is a shitty arguement because what do you think makes those ciggerates?
so you think that people who dont smoke are nazis for not wanting cancer for no reason other than that somebody wants to have the few minutes of pleasure ciggerates gives them? well since you made yourself look like an tard there i wont help you out
now you are being a hypocrite you cant say that the resturant arguement has nothing to do with this employees have the right to a safe work environment and if i were to go back and count how many damn times you talked about rights well i would be here for a couple hours
going on, ciggerates are a pleasure? well smoking weed is a pleasure and making fake money to buy a bunch of things are a pleasure and both of those are illegal just because its a plesure doesnt mean anything and cars as said earlier are tools not pleasures unless you want to walk for 4 hours to get to work
fine fine fine good for you benefits are subjective but the fact is that it may be worth it to you but not for the person sitting next to you, and also im blown away at how you could think that its for the person who is having the experience to decide because what you are saying there is that murder is ok because unless you have murdered to you cant know if it is worth it
o im sorry, im selfish? silly me your right i dont want cancer just so you can light up, god im so fucking selfish your an idiot and by the way print out the section where is says "the right to smoke ciggerates" and then you can have that arguement
that is invalid from the start because you dont have a right to smoke, i dont pollute most people are smart enough not to and dont tell me you havent at one point, are you joking? so it doesnt pollute the air when you are lighting up there but it does when you are lighting up here? not even going to continue with that part, im also sure you throw your butts on the ground when you are done (knows he is going to lie and say he doesnt) well guess what that gets into the environment when it rains and pollutes the soil and gies the animals cancer, the difference is (plese make another point you milked this one for long enough) they are important unless you want to walk 4 hours to work, dont have those wonderful cigerattes of yours, and not have steel then ya sure go ahead and apply is, you see that works because while all those things give you something ciggerates give you so many health benefits that it is unbelieveable (sarcasm) finally, you are saying that the resturant arguement doesnt count and then you start about not having a lot of children? jesus christ you are a hypocrite
in short you points are invalid you say that i am not right for saying something then you start saying the same thing later you are an idiot that i guess wants cancer, good for you, please respond its fun bashing you over and over again with your aweful rationalazations
