3-Feb-2025 The invisible threat of thirdhand smoke Texas A&M University Thirdhand smoke is smoke residue that remains in the indoor environment, according to Wendy Hughes, a registered respiratory therapist with Texas A&M Health who is currently studying the effects of tobacco use and health impacts related to the substance. This residue reacts with the air to create additional pollutants and then re-emits on some surfaces in your home, car and clothing. Once the residue is in an area, it can continue circulating, so it could reattach to other surfaces like new furniture, wall décor, skin and even hair.
