Thirdhand Smoke Consortium

Thirdhand smoke is the chemical residue that is left behind on clothes, skin, furniture, walls, and other surfaces after someone smokes.

In 2011, TRDRP became the first funding agency in the world to initiate research on thirdhand smoke (THS) as a new frontier in tobacco-related science, with the funding of a multi-investigator, multi-disciplinary Thirdhand Smoke Research Consortium; TRDRP renewed the funding in 2014 and in 2022.
