Cancers
Tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) that form in cigarettes during manufacturing have a bad reputation. When they enter your body (through ingestion, inhalation, or absorption), they make you more susceptible to lung, oral, stomach, esophageal, and liver cancer.
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Multiple studies link thirdhand smoking to fatty liver. When there is too much fat in your liver, you are more likely to develop non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. If not controlled, NFLD can lead to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Nicotine in thirdhand smoke can contribute to the narrowing of your arteries. This decreases the flow of healing factors, including oxygen and nutrients to the wounded area. As a result, you might experience slow wound healing.
