Surgery: Exposure to secondhand smoking should not affect the outcomes of your surgery. In general, would be best if you avoid exposure to secondhand smoking. Try to encourage smokers around you to quit.

Bad for you. : There is not much information about the effects of secondhand marijuana smoke on mitral valves, but there is a lot of information that tells us that secondhand marijuana smoke is bad for you in general.
