A recent study from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, USA has reported that carcinogenic agents from cigarette smoke can be easily deposited in dust as well as fabrics, toys, walls and other surfaces. This presents a risk especially for young children and animal companions whose fingers, hands and paws make contact with these areas in the home. Even when adults smoke outdoors, the cancer-causing particles can still migrate by clinging to the persons’ hair and clothes, with later transfer to indoor surfaces. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists, we are grateful for this information about the further dangers of tobacco.

May such findings motivate many to halt such damaging habits for the health and protection of our precious youths and animal friends, one and all.
