Yes I googled third hand smoke.
The first page is full of junk journalism paid for by the anti smoking lobby.
No, actually paid for by my bloody taxes more like.
Stupid people are going to believe this.

We should get ASH on to fourth and fifth hand smoke.

Even those who were all in favour of the smoking ban and who really hate smoking are starting to balk at the third-hand smoke nonsense. Push further. It'll break.
