A member asked:

I was with a friend & she smokes. she smoked in a closed room i was in. it was only one cigarette. will second hand smoke harm my heart? i have svt.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Smoking: One time inhalation of cigarette smoke is unlikely to cause a problem. Chronic bystander smoke exposure is a different matter. With respect to svt there is a small possibility of a problem with a one time inhalation. It is always good to avoid smoke, first or second hand.
