THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THIRD-HAND SMOKE

When you first walk into a room, it usually doesn’t take long to notice if someone has been smoking. You probably describe the scent as stale or lingering but what you might not know is that recent research suggests that “third-hand” smoke – the residue from tobacco smoke clinging to surfaces long after the smoke has settled – leaves behind more than just a bad odor.

  1. I have a neigbor who smokes inside her townhome next to me, the problem is I have started to smell the odor from her home. I have gone to the manager all she told me was to put plugs into the walls and block and areas that I could have potential cracks on that side of the wall.. I have bought high end candles, and a wall plug in air purifier. What else do you recomend? I have a one year old, and this is why I am so angry all of my items are starting to smell like my neighbors dirty ashtray.
