Third hand smoke....oy vey...

Ok, so we all know smopking is bad for you...We've found out second hand smoke is bad for you..but who would have come to think of THIRD hand smoke?!
Ok, for those of us unfarmiliar with the term, (like me) third hand smoke is the cigar, pipe, cigarette, ect. particles that settle in fabrics and hair. Basically it's that nasty stuff you can smell on people after they've smoked despite the fact the cig has been snuffed. Turns out this stuff isn't just a displeasing smell, it can make people seriously ill aswell! (Who'd 'a thunk it?! 1st hand, 2nd hand, 3rd....oy vey) It basically has the same adverse effect of 2nd hand smoke, with the whole, it makes allergies and asthma act up and stuff...not suprising...
Am I the only one that is thinking, when the hell is this going to end?!
I mean...good for them! they figured out another thing bad for us! But really...does it take extensive research to figure out that, if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and shits like a duck, it's probably....third hand duck....
ugh...my point is...first hand is bad, second hand is bad, now, third hand is bad...at least they could have come up with a witty-er name....
