It's no longer a "Mystery." I actually saw this on the TV set at my Doctor's office a few years ago.
It was, of course, on the medical channel, pushing all sorts of big pharma and the like. And this actually came on several times during my hour or so wait.
The medical establishment has finally found the cause of SIDS. It is "third hand cigarette smoke." There was no citing of science backing this conclusion, just the revelation that the culprit had been found.
Third hand cigarette smoke is not the smoker. It is not someone in the same room as the smoker. Third hand cigarette smoke is to be around someone who has been around someone who smoked a cigarette.
There was no mention of the science, because obviously there is no way to collect data and determine if someone has been around someone who has been around someone who smoked. or how many times a baby had been around someone who had been around someone who smoked. But nonetheless it had at that time become scientific "fact" that third hand cigarette smoke was the sole cause of SIDS.
It played in a regular loop along with the other junk propaganda.
As a side note the incident was right before the unveiling of the Covid 19 pandemic in which a person who uses nicotine products REALLY IS scientifically proven to be 80% less likely to develop the disease. It is probably impossible to calculate how much being around the smoke would reduce the infection rate. But it would likely play a role.
