Sidestream smoke

Sidestream smoke

Sidestream smoke is smoke coming from the lit end of a smoldering cigarette. The chemical constituents of sidestream smoke are different from those of directly inhaled ("mainstream") smoke. Sidestream smoke contributes towards passive smoking. Evidence has shown that sidestream smoke may be more harmful than mainstream smoke.cite journal | last=Schick | first=S |coauthors=Glantz S |title=Philip Morris toxicological experiments with fresh sidestream smoke: more toxic than mainstream smoke |journal=Tobacco Control |volume=14 |issue=6 |pages=396–404 |date =Dec 2005 | pmid =16319363 |doi=10.1136/tc.2005.011288 ]
