Is second hand cigeratte smoke bad for your heart ? especially if you have had mitral valve repair heart surgery
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: No one disagrees about the problems with smoking, but the evidence of second hand smoking causing problems is really weak, but you should probably try to avoid it if at all possible. No reason to chance it if you don't have to.
