Can i buy anything that will prevent me from breathing cigarette smoke?

No and Yes: Well you do not need to buy anything, but stay away from smokers and not smoke yourself. If there was something like this available, it would make someone very wealthy. Seems i read the most powerful toxic fume masks used by industrial folks working with hazardous fumes will only block about 90% of nearby cigarette smoke. Would not quote that figure.

Gas mask?: Just avoid smokers to avoid second hand smoke. And if you smoke, just stop.
