I'm not sure if there's a much higher basis for concern, considering the study Raist pointed out. But the concern for breathing straight from the end of a cigarette seems more worrying than breathing in a smoker's exhale
Look even if we successfully agreed that second hand smoke is pollution - there's far more dangerous pollutants out there, and all we do with that is increase the tax or create some sort of externality cost to justify it. So it's a ridiculously trivial issue at best to quibble over second hand smoke.

I don't smoke regularly but I'll fight to the death the right to smoke.
