A member asked:
Can you let me know how many times do we have to inhale second hand smoke to equal one cigarette?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: It depends on the degree of exposure. If multiple people are smoking in a small room, the second smoke exposure will be significantly greater than a single person smoking in a large, well ventilated room.
