Not necessary: Your lungs are capable of blocking out smoke and preventing fetal adverse effects during a short exposure. Get some fresh air and clear out your lungs. if you have asthma, take your inhaler. If symptoms worsen or you start having shortness of breath, see your doctor immediately. best wishes Dr M
