It’s probably not an issue. I am the child of two smokers and smoked for 10 years myself. My lungs are perfectly healthy now.
Second-hand smoke is really just “smelling smoke”. Smoke inhalation to the point of a health issue requires a large amount.
Besides, what can you do about it now?

Agreed. My whole family smoked (except for me and one brother). I am probably more at risk from all the stuff I got into while exploring old abandoned buildings on the Navy bases I lived on...we used to rip the asbestos covering off pipes and throw it against the wall where they exploded into a fine powder that enveloped and completely covered us.

Another time, we found a large bottle of pure mercury (maybe three times the volume of a shot bottle) and we spent several months playing with it, pouring it on our hands, through our fingers, watching it puddle and consolidate small puddles into big ones when we poured it on the floor.

And so on. Ah well. Something is going to get you. You can eat like a health freak, never smoke, run marathons, and have a heart attack, lung cancer, or...get hit by a bus.

And you can smoke 3 packs a day and live until you are 90

But in the end, as Eddie Rickenbacker used to say, the guy with the sharp knife at the end of the stick will always get you.
