Sidestream smoke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sidestream smoke (more commonly called second-hand smoke in the US) is smoke coming from the lit end of a smoldering cigarette. The chemical constituents of sidestream smoke are different from those of directly inhaled ("mainstream") smoke. Sidestream smoke contributes towards passive smoking. Evidences have shown that sidestream smoke may be more harmful than mainstream smoke.[1]
