If I'm reading the information correctly Third Hand Smoke as a term refers to the chemical deposits landing on skin, hair, clothes, furniture, floors, walls etc after the smoke has dissipated. It is cumulative, long lasting, and can combine with other indoor chemicals to make even more potent carcinogens.
So that not only will all those surfaces trigger asthmatic symptoms it will continue to build and get worse over time.
