The average family home has enough mercury in it to kill a buffalo simply from all the CFL lightbulbs they've installed to save energy...
I dunno what's in air freshener but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to drink it straight from the can either. How much brain damage do you think junior gets from sucking on a Glade Plugin?
Let's face it. The Anti-Smoking lobby has degenerated to a vindictive and petty witch hunt simply fear mongering for its own sake and I blame the media for airing crap like this without so much as a hint of corroboration.
Bear in mind this is but ONE study in a "publish or perish" industry which is based on nothing more than a statistical survey where the numbers have been inflated and wildly speculative conclusions have been drawn simply to maximize the fear-mongering effect...
I tell you all if the anti cell phone and anti CFL movements had the kind of financial support these clowns have we'd all be living in climate controlled pods terrified to face the light of day...

agreed. There are just as many contaminants in every day households that are hazardous. You mention air fresheners and that's a big one. There's studies on that too, and they also contain toxic substances. The air quality in most cities results in more toxic contaminants than so called "third hand smoke"
