The polluter snuff and even when the cigarette was extinguished

A study published in the journal Pediatrics, researchers from Mississippi State University, United States, describes how to control smoke snuff remains even after the cigarette has been turned off, a phenomenon that is defined as "third-hand smoke.

"When you smoke, anywhere, toxic particles snuff the smoke get into your hair and clothes," says Jonathan Winickoff, director of the study. When you walk into contact with your baby, even if you're not smoking at the time, he comes into contact with toxins. And if you're breastfeeding, the toxins are transferred to baby through breast milk. "

Winickoff also argues that it is preferable that milk, milk that common, even though the mother is a smoker.
Within the snuff many particles that are toxic, 250 to be exact, including poisonous gases, chemicals, metals, etc... Many of them classified as group 1 carcinogens most dangerous or most likely to cause any type of cancer.

Children may be contaminated with these compounds not only because of secondhand smoke, or if someone is smoking nearby, but with the waste that has been what is called third-hand smoke. Thus the child who plays with the hair of a smoking mother, or that draws on the table where someone smoked, each playing something, even if their toys were where someone smoked before, this is harmful, and children more than in adults.
