Summary
For decades, health professionals have been describing the danger of second-hand smoke and many countries have created the legislative norms protecting no-smokers against their involuntary exposure to passive smoking. Now, a growing number of scientists are interested in the “third-hand smoke” (THS), residues of tobacco smoke that remain in the indoor air and surfaces for hours, weeks, months, when cigarettes are extinguished. The sources of chemicals involved into the THS are the components emitted from the burning tobacco (mainly nicotine), but also obvious parts of indoor air (ozone, nitrous acid, nitrogen oxides). These substances can produce new dangerous chemicals, such as tobacco-specific nitrosamines, volatile organic compounds and others, by their inter- reactions. Although the toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects of THS are under investigation, the increasing public interest about the third-hand smoke could change attitudes to smoking and better protect non-smokers, especially children.
Key words:
second-hand smoke, smoke aging, third-hand smoke, children exposure, prevention
