> But when asked whether they agreed with the statement, "Breathing air in a room today where people smoked yesterday can harm the health of infants and children," only 65 percent of nonsmokers and 43 percent of smokers answered "yes."
sounds pretty scientific

> he adds, but notes that he is not aware of any studies directly linking third-hand smoke to disease [as opposed to second-hand smoke, which has been associated with disease].
nevermind. it's not, it's about feelings. He feels that "third-hand smoke" is dangerous, so, let's ask some laymen to weigh in!

How else would you conduct a scientific study?

let me go search for the un-particle by asking my neighbors if they think it can be detected.

i shouldn't, you know, develop a hypothesis and test it or anything. i'll just say something that sounds believable.

The article just defines it. Poisonous residue from smoke is obvious to the braindead really.

the greeks or whoever defined the humors of the body, which was wrong. just defining something based of your own best guess about what's "obvious" isn't how you science. you don't assert your own untested hypothesis as fact until some kind evidence derived from experimentation confirms your conclusion.

But have you heard about fourth-hand smoke? It's the real killer. Be afraid.

What we really need to be looking out for here is killer lettuce: lettuce smoke is deadly and can cause serious health issues in smokers and those close to them.

Third-hand lettuce smoke is actually the real danger.
