Canada has been a nation that has just not banned smoking in Public spaces, but also now one cannot smoke with kids in car. It is a very nice sign from the Government which can benefit both the young generation and also the smokers to reduce as much as possible from smoking.Not just firsthand smoke , but also second hand and now recent research have confirmed that now even third hand smoking can be dangerous.
Scientist at National Academy of Science concluded these new findings after doing research for some time. When one smokes nicotine in vapour format is released in our surrounding area. This nicotine can either stay with us on our clothes or can linger on walls, carpets, or drapes at nearby for days or months. It is this Nicotine that reacts to form one tobacco-specific nitrosamines or TSNA's quotes Hugo Destaillats corresponding author of this study.
TSNA's is one of the broadly acting potent carcinogens present in unburned tobacco and its smoke. If this comes to contact with small kids either by inhaling or dermal touch can create health issues. It is thus kids or our toddlers who are said to suffer with this third hand smoke rather than anyone else.
Understanding all this fact this remains one more fact for all those out there who are smokers and would like to keep their kids and society healthy to Quit. Help for all of you is just dial away. Look out for some easy government programs like Smoker’s help line not for me but just for your own kids.
