Again with the 3rd Hand Smoke

Heard on the radio today, driving to work, that there is definitely maybe a possibility that 3rd hand smoke causes cancer. Researchers believe, though, that it will be some time before they can *prove* a link.
Apparently they can't get enough people who habitually suck the drapes and lick the wallpaper in a smoker's house. But... when they do... then there'll be some serious legislation....
(We're safe at my house. Particulate matter from the smoke just won't stick to the dust.)

Save the women and children!
...or something like that.
For those lost on the subject, yeah: There are places that forbid people from smoking in their own homes now because the residue from the smoke that was there at some point in time is also carcinogenic.
And the emphasis is on saving toddlers and infants, who are more likely to contact these carcinogens than the average adult, because they put things in their mouth.
Now... at some point, some sane person has got to realize that there are TONS of environmental "particulates" that are standing in line to kill us long before "3rd hand smoke" is. One mentioned not long ago was incense. The incense that people burn in their homes has 4 times the particulates that tobacco smoke does.
--- And don't get me started on people who don't put water in their broilers before they cook meat! (You can't even see in their living rooms and bathrooms let alone their kitchens, for all the particulates in the air!).
LOL
Yeah. Congressmen looking to keep their names on something, anything, that's moving through the legislative process.
(ah geez... maybe I should explain about the broilers... Fat dripping onto the hot pan makes smoke. But putting just a little bit of water in, enough to cover the bottom, quenches the fat in water that won't let it smoke. It's one of the tips for broiling that keeps your smoke alarms from going off. IF you didn't know that, try it).

PS: Pot is 12 times as harsh on your respiratory system as tobacco. But those studies were done with cigarette smokers. That's an unfair comparison in my book, because no one who smokes pot can keep up with, or afford to keep up with, a chain smoker of generic cigarette tobaccos. One cigarette vs. one joint? Huh uh. Doesn't make sense. The cigarette smoker is going to out pace the recreational weed guy by a factor of at least 150 or so -- probably way more -- rendering the "12 times" a moot point.
No. I don't smoke pot. I just think about things and make distinctions about what is pure BS and what might be worth remembering.
