🧼 Even after a cigarette goes out, harmful chemicals can linger on clothing, walls, furniture, and surfaces — this is called thirdhand smoke.
Children are especially vulnerable because they crawl, touch, and put objects in their mouths. Thirdhand smoke contains dozens of toxic substances and there’s no safe level of exposure.
Protecting kids means keeping all spaces smoke‑free — from homes and cars to pediatric clinics like ours. 💙

​Thirdhand smoke is a danger to children. People with breathing problems, pregnant women, the elderly, and animals are also vulnerable to thirdhand smoke. ​
