Can the lingering smell of smoke (cigarettes) harm you?Well my bus driver smokes (yes I still take the school bus -.-), he doesn't smoke while driving but you can tell. I can't even take a deep breath, like most people, I don't exactly want to die because of someone else's stupidity. It he continues doing this, and it harms me, I'm probably going to complain to the principle or something, I spend half an hour each day on that bus, I'm not going to let that half an hour kill me even 30 days earlier.
Uhh to the person who said I was childish.... well..... this is the INTERNET not Business Co. If this actually had something to do with my grades I would present it is a much more"formal" way, oh and to the person who said my principle can't control him smoking in his life, if you actually read the question, you might figure out that he smokes IN the bus (except when off duty).

Some people think so but I think it's hysteria.
You've been sitting there breathing diesel exhaust every day for years and probably never thought twice about it.

second hand smoke can be dangerous, but not really quite sure to what extent. I believe if you are just exposed to it rarely at all, it won't really be a problem. just don't go around breathing it in.

Of course not!
How much brainwashing do they do at your school?

yes it's called third hand smoke:
Add a new health threat to smoking: In addition to the harm caused by actually smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke, so-called third-hand smoke may also pose a threat, particularly to babies and toddlers.
A new study reveals that the residue of nicotine that lingers on surfaces can react with another chemical in the air to form potent carcinogens — chemicals linked to various cancers. While first-hand smoke is that inhaled directly by the smoker and second-hand is the smoke exhaled (and inhaled by others), third-hand smoke is the residue from second-hand smoke.
Anyone who has entered a confined space — a room, an elevator, a vehicle, etc. — where someone has recently been smoking, knows that the scent lingers for an extended period of time.
"The burning of tobacco releases nicotine in the form of a vapor that adsorbs strongly onto indoor surfaces, such as walls, floors, carpeting, drapes and furniture. Nicotine can persist on those materials for days, weeks and even months," said Hugo Destaillats, a chemist with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in San Francisco, and one of the authors of the study.
Scientists have been aware for several years that tobacco smoke sort of sticks to surfaces where it can react with other chemicals. But reactions of residual smoke constituents with molecules in the air have been overlooked as a source of harmful pollutants, the researchers of the new study say.
