Eliminating thirdhand smoke and aerosol is extremely challenging. Common cleaning methods such as vacuuming, wiping down surfaces, and airing out rooms do not eliminate the residue. Particles remain behind, even after the smell fades. This means that people often are not aware of their exposure to thirdhand smoke and aerosol. The best way to avoid thirdhand smoke and aerosol is not to allow someone to smoke or vape around you, including in your home or car. You can also protect yourself by showering after exposure to thirdhand smoke or aerosol and opening the windows in your car or home if someone is smoking or vaping. In addition, tell other people about the dangers of thirdhand smoke and aerosol. Many people who smoke or vape do not realize they are harming those around them.
