Third-hand Subway

third hand smoke 

The nearly invisible, faint smoke breathed out by a person who just inhaled the smoke from another person's cigarette (see second hand smoke), which is then breathed in by another person near them. What that final person then breathes out could technically be considered fourth hand smoke if inhaled by yet another person, but scientists are still debating on how harmful, if at all, fourth hand smoke is.

Steve: "Nah, fucking third hand smoke. That shit's deadly when you're 90."
