MDG: Pretend that instead of smoke causing your imagined sensitivities, it was Arrid deodorant. Would you then admit that it is you with the problem?
YYTZ: If there is a place (like a room indoors, BMG, or a car) where there has been a lot of smoking done, third hand smoke is a plausible, albeit far-fetched concern. If you talking about a person whose breath smells, it is less plausible concern. A person who takes precautions to not expose another is a completely implausible source of third hand smoke.
Seriously, the witchhunt needs to go. Yes, smoking causes cancer. A heavy smoker has about a 1:10 chance of getting lung cancer. Other breathing problems are more likely. The CDC with all its MPH knowitalls were and are very successful in manipulating the masses’ thoughts regarding smoking. Don’t smoke. It’s stupid. But don’t be an idiot either.
From Wikipedia: “A 2014 study published in the journal Pediatrics demonstrated that parents are more likely to attempt to quit smoking if they become convinced that thirdhand smoke is harmful to children and more likely to have smoke-free home and car policies if they are aware of the dangers of third-hand smoke.” Every MPH knows that their ultimate purpose is to get people to quit smoking as it is from the most controllable significant health factors. Thus you cant believe everything they say as truth isn’t their goal, raising public life expectancy and decreasing overall healthcare cost is.
