Be careful!: You should always be very careful about inhaling smoke of any type. This could result in a bronchitis or even lung cancer if the exposure is long term. In this case it is not likely any serious harm resulted from such short term exposure. However, to be on the safe side I suggest a standard medical exam with your Family Doctor. I wish you well with your health!
