A member asked:
Would it be bad for you to be around second hand smoke once a week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There is no benefit from inhaling second hand smoke at any time and it is always unhealthy to be exposed to it. Whether you will always develop an illness from the exposure is another question and highly variable among people.
