    A few years ago, people smoked everywhere. Smoking causes all kinds of illnesses and they might make people sick. However, doctors learned that it was bad for non-smokers, too. Smokers breathe out second-hand smoke, and non-smokers have to breathe it in.

    However, there is another problem. When secondhand smoke goes away, it leaves third-hand smoke behind. Third-hand smoke is also bad for our health and it's even harder to get rid of it!

    When someone smokes in a place, the smoke leaves chemicals on the walls, floors and even furniture. These chemicals are third-hand smoke. Over time, there will be more and more of it. It can hurt you even if you don't breathe it in. Just touching it will hurt you as well. These chemicals are really bad for our health.

    Third-hand smoke is bad for kids. It stays on their clothes and toys. If kids put those things into their mouths, third-hand smoke will get into their bodies. It makes children get sick more often. It can cause death in babies.

    If you can smell smoke, third-hand smoke is around. You can wash it away, but you had better stop doing so. There is only one way to stop smoke — all places must be no-smoking even homes and cars.
