An Australian study found higher levels of nicotine and other tobacco-related particles inside the houses of smokers compared to smoke-free homes, even if the smokers only smoked outdoors. Children in these homes had higher rates of respiratory illnesses like asthma, probably because, when smokers returned indoors, they were still breathing out smoke which contaminates the air enough to cause damage. Particles were also brought inside attached to their body and clothes.
