Third‐hand smoke (THS) can be defined as the contamination of surfaces by second‐hand smoke. This residue can form further pollutants which can be re‐suspended in dust or be re‐emitted into the gas phase. THS is a complex mixture and as a result studies have focused on nicotine as a marker of THS, i...
