"Preliminary research by Matt and others suggests the same chemicals that leave a stale cigarette odor on clothes and upholstery also can be swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin of non-smokers. Smoke residue may linger for hours, days or months, depending on the ventilation and the level of contamination." http://74.125.45.104/search?q=cache:QyvbD3JWZe8J:www.usatoday.com/news/health/2006-08-06-thirdhand-smoke-usat_x.htm+smoke+residue+on+clothing+smokers&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us http://74.125.45.104/search?q=cache:2DDGqfBBqdYJ:www.pr-inside.com/smoker-s-breath-creates-indoor-air-r657051.htm+smoke+residue+on+clothes+harmful&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=6&gl=us "Even in homes where smokers made a point of not indulging their habit near others, residue from the smoke was detected on surfaces around the house and in household dust. This residue, the researchers said, could pose a hazard for young children, who spend much time on the floor and explore things by mouth." www.no-smoking.org There are SO many other places to get information about the dangers of smoke residue on clothing, furniture, upholstery, etc. You are correct to worry.
