Third-hand smoke: the latest in anti-tobacco hysteria

[Asher]

From today's NY Times:

I wonder if Dr. Winickoff can name three victims of this "third-hand smoke":

3 rd hand? What's next, my friends mothers brothers uncle who once smoked a cigarette behind the barn in S. Carolina? What a stretch for 3 rd hand,,,you know it's coming then, 4th hand smoke.

Let's see you have the original smoker being number 1
You have the guy next to him being number 2
3 rd hand must be anyone who smells smoke on numbers 1 and 2
4 th hand must be the person who heard about 1 and 2 and actually talked with person number 3. Yep, this has all the makings of science if you ask me.

It's magic. Some jackass claiming something. It's like your baby's momma said you are her daddy's son!

You are way more likely to get cancer from the food you eat or the water you drink. It's ridiculous to worry about crap like that.
