A member asked:

If outside for 10 minutes would smoke eg bonfire or cigarette smoke permanently embed itself in clothes and hair or would it evaporate completely a few hrs later? does smoke from outside that drifts indoors then become third hand smoke? thank you?

The particles on clothing can trigger respiratory symptoms. This type of exposure may lead to symptoms. Avoid smoke exposure and change clothes after exposure. Rinsing hair is also often effective. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and cough.
