Asthma?: I have two thoughts on your condition; (1) You may have undiagnosed asthma which was worsened by tobacco smoke exposure. (2)You may have caught a viral infection from someone in the gathering (or even from a week earlier). If you start to have a fever or muscle aches, then a viral infection would be the answer.

Irritant: Exposure to cigarette smoke can be very irritating to the nose and lungs when inhaled second-hand. It can be even more irritating to people with a history of rhinitis or asthma. If you are truly having difficulty breathing, wheezing, feeling like you can't get enough air in, please go to emergency department or urgent care. If minor symptoms, will likely go away soon.
