Second-Hand Smokeless Smoke

[RocketManJames]

This might be a really dumb question... but, here it goes anyway.

Take a car that has been smoked in for many years. Even after a thorough internal cleaning, you know how it smells inside. It's got that lingering smoke smell. Now, say you have to sit in this car for a long time. Is this actually bad for you in the same way that second hand smoke is bad for you?

I am guessing no, but it's nothing more than a guess. The thing that makes me doubt my guess is that if you are able to smell that smoker's smell, doesn't that mean that something is travelling into your nose?

wow.

i'd say no

No man. Hell no. I believe you get your ass [censored] for sayin somehting like that.

[Lazymeatball]

No, I guess I understand your quandary, but this suggestion is pretty ridiculous and paranoid.

ps. I have no scientific basis to back this claim up, just my own interpretation of common sense.

Well, since there's no evidence that second hand smoke is bad for you, then no, the smell of it can't be either. (Flame Away)

Yes. All forms of smoke can kill. In fact, simply staring at a pack of cigarettes has been known to cause cancer.

SHHHH!!! Do you know how many people have spent their lives convincing us that second hand and slip stream smoke kills, with no actual evidence? You're ruining a whole industry here!
