Can You Get Sick From Thirdhand Smoke?
Unfortunately, when a smoker has occupied a home or building for any period, nicotine residue and other toxic chemicals can build up on surfaces and linger long after the smoker has left the premises.
From there, thirdhand smoke and smoker’s residue can have negative health impacts on the next inhabitants of the building. According to the Cleveland Clinic, thirdhand smoke can cause:
- Increased Chance Of Lung Cancer To Non-Smokers
- Permanent DNA Damage
- Higher Levels Of Carcinogens
- Liver Damage
- Diabetes
Who Suffers The Most From Smoking Residue?
Anyone with the misfortune to walk through a room once inhabited by a smoker will breathe in chemicals and nicotine. However, while the bad smell affects everyone, some may suffer more consequences than others.
- Children
- Those Who Suffer From Chronic Conditions
- Those With Asthma
How Can I Remove Cigarette Smoke?
Some homeowners and business owners might try to clean their space themselves. Some DIY cleaning ideas may include:
- Repainting Walls
- Replacing Carpet
- Scrubbing Walls With Vinegar
- Carpet Cleaning
Because thirdhand smoke often builds up in surfaces (such as drywall and flooring) over long periods of time, it can be very difficult to remove. DIY methods will not remove the risk completely or eliminate that pesky smell.
