Jan. 16th, 2009 08:22 amI really intensely dislike sharing a lift or other conveyance with someone who is a heavy smoker, especially if they've stubbed out their cigarette just before they get into said lift. The odour of stale smoke that pervades their hair, skin, and clothing is really, in ways, more disgusting than breathing their smoke.
Well, I never knew there was a term for this: it's third-hand smoke, and according to an article in the New York Times, it can be as carcinogenic to people other than the smoker as second- or first-hand smoke.
I don't know what can be done about this, though. The only way to avoid third-hand smoke is to require a complete change of clothing and a shower after each cigarette.

Brian, who is on an around-the-world trip, breezed into London a while back. I got wind of his blog through the LinkedIn Ivy League group, and was intrigued because he was about to go to Angkor Wat, which I had just been to. I started reading his interesting blog, and when he arrived here, I said, "Let's do lunch!"
We met up at Piccadilly Circus to go to Eathai, which I had just been to courtesy of Dr. David, but could certainly stand another visit. I had the same thing I had last time (green chicken curry and vegetarian spring rolls) and we chatted about living in London and various side trips that are worth taking. We continued at Starbucks, where pictures were taken. I do look remarkably thinner than I am in this picture, so I am eternally grateful.
Brian's blog is interesting, check it out! There is another version of the above picture there, taken with his camera. Gratefully, I noted that I still look relatively thin with that camera too.
