Please read Christopher Snowden's analysis of the "third-hand smoke" study. Lots of great stuff there. These people will go to any lengths to release information to induce panic where smoke and now vapor is concerned. They MUST be stopped.
* The researchers used concentrations of nitrous acid 14 times higher than would be found in a normal environment
* Even at the unrealistic levels found in the experiment, there is no evidence that such doses are harmful to humans
* The main TSNA produced is not a carcinogen
* The weakest results were found in the real-life conditions, with measurements barely exceeding detectable levels in the smallest conceivable workplace of a heavy smoker
* Any effect from the TSNAs is negligible compared to the effects of the nitrous acid itself
