Don’t take our word for it. Here’s every fact on this site, with its evidence grade, its caveats, and a link to the source, so you can check us.
We start you on the strong ones: findings that have been replicated or come from one large, well-controlled study. Moderate and weak facts are here too, labeled for what they are. Use “Link to this fact” to share a single card.
Indoor air / Other evidence
Industry chemists note that indoor air tests for secondhand smoke also pick up cooking, cleaners, furniture polish, perfumes, hair sprays, deodorants and building materials, and one conference-room scan found non-tobacco peaks larger than the tobacco-smoke peaks.
Weak evidence: Industry authors citing an industry report; shows measurement confounding, not that ETS is harmless.

Indoor air / Other evidence
Two products in the same category can behave very differently: with seed particles present, one deodorant turned about 17% of its evaporated mass into aerosol and the other about 6% (about, read from Fig. 2), and the two cleaning liquids ran about 5% and 12%.
Weak evidence: Approximate values read from Fig. 2; two products per category; the authors say the products are not representative of the market.
