Thanks.

Maren Morris. Still no idea who she is :D I'm probably not her target demographic anyway.

I was flabbergasted recently when a friend, a mother of a 4 year old, moaned that the government were trying to stop her smoking outside. Partially because I assumed she quit while pregnant, so why the hell would she go back to it ?
I resisted the urge to point out " Ohh yes what an awful government. They want to protect your child from your dangerous, disgusting, expensive habit".
It's expensive because the government makes it expensive so they hardly protecting her from that, otherwise why do you think she is exposing her child to it? The exact same arguments could be used against motorbikes.
The government have made it prohibitively expensive for some people, so it saves them.
She thinks by going outside and smoking, then going back inside and hugging her son, that she is protecting him. She's wrong, granted it's not like blowing smoke in his face, but the smoke is still on her hands, her clothes her hair ect.

As far as I'm aware, no one has ever got a deadly disease because their parent rode a motorbike. So no mate, the same argument can't be made against motorbikes.

This is dragging the jokes thread way off topic, but that has me wondering, yes you can still smell it on the person / their clothes but does that immediately imply that the nasty chemicals that cause cancer are also present?
And if they are what is the transmission method and rate that would spread them to all the innocents in their vicinity?

Nope, I prefer to read the actual papers rather than articles.
However, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3040625/ sheds some light on it.
So it's possible maybe when talking about homes / cars etc. but then it'd be an even lower risk on people & clothes are they are washed / cleaned as they wouldn't have the same build up of third hand smoke.

And then of course there's the issue around absorption into the body, at what rate if any can they pass through the skin barrier and how does that compare to inhalation & ingestion which wouldn't be expected to happen.

Hey ho, was only a mild curiosity, back to the jokes.

I hear there's been some confusion about the new takeaway in Springfield being mislabelled 'Pet á Manger'.
