Increasing amounts of research show that hazardous smoke residues can be absorbed through the skin, ingested, and inhaled months and even years after smoke has dissipated.

The latest study, published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, shows how tobacco smoke from outdoor air can seep into a nonsmoking classroom and coat its surfaces, and how those hazardous chemicals often become airborne again and circulate throughout buildings via central air-conditioning systems.

    Anti smokers are bad. But as a non-smoker (cant stand the taste), I have noticed the ex-smokers are the worst of the lot. It is not enough for them to quit they have to go all ban happy on everything. They can not control it so they want laws written so they can not relapse. Show some self control...

    I did a month ago. The nausea lasted about a week, but it's been a month now and I am _still_ getting headaches.

    Any substance that has such a profound affect on the human body is without a doubt A Tool Of The Devil.

      I did a month ago.

      It's so easy, right? I never had any problem to quit smoking.
      Like today for example, I already quit smoking for about 20 times and it's only early evening!
