¿La marihuana crea humo de tercera mano?

Al igual que los productos de tabaco, los cigarrillos de marihuana, también conocidos como porros (joints) o canutos (blunts), producen dos tipos de humo—el humo que la persona exhala mientras fuma y el humo que sale del extremo encendido del cigarrillo de marihuana. Quemar marihuana produce un residuo de humo de tercera mano similar al producido al quemar productos de tabaco. Aunque los productos de marihuana aún no se han estudiado tan a fondo como los productos de tabaco, se ha confirmado que el humo de la marihuana contiene algunas de las mismas sustancias químicas que el humo del tabaco, incluidos algunos de los mismos carcinógenos que se encuentran en el humo del tabaco.
