Thirdhand Smoke Resource Center

• Booth: 376

Welcome to the Thirdhand Smoke Resource Center!

At the Thirdhand Smoke Resource Center, our mission is to share information, resources, and technical support with California’s residents, communities, businesses, health care professionals, and policymakers about the toxic legacy of tobacco smoke residue and to achieve indoor environments that are 100% free of tobacco smoke toxicants. Our work is a branch of the Thirdhand Smoke Research Consortium, an interdisciplinary group of California researchers and scientists. Funded by California’s Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program, our work is focused on California, but we collaborate with thirdhand smoke researchers from throughout the US and across the globe.
