How bad is it to stand or be close to someone who smoke, what could do to your health?!


Question: How bad is it to stand or be close to someone who smoke, what could do to your health.?
I know it's bad, and I think thats called "second hand smoke". but I'd like to know more about how bad is it for me to stand or be close to someone who smoke cigarettes.

Last Friday was Halloween..
I went Trick or Treating and also see a few haunted houses with a couple of friends and I also invited this girl I like... anyway, she smokes cigarettes TT_TT she have turned 18 years old a few months ago, she said that she's been smoking since 15 =O. I never knew that she smoke or anything T__T
I just turned 17 this October and I had my birthday party on Halloween.
Anyway.. she was smoking a lot T__T like a few cigarettes when we were walking in the streets to get candies T_T so after getting a few chocolates and stuff... we went to my house for my bday party, I was feeling kinda dizzy, not really.. its more like a light headache and I don't know.. I don't really want to get cancer or whatever, I also don't want anything bad to happen to her TT_TT
I don't want to stop talking to her because she smokes, I don't think its right to do that either... she's a good friend and hmm I tried to talk her while walking that night, but she said she doesn't really care about the health stuff ._.
I don't smoke, I have never smoke or done any type of drugs or alcohol... and I don't want my friend to go down that path T__T
is there any way I could help her besides telling her about what could happen to her and health issues.? ._. Any suggestions.?

Thanks!

Answers:
Level with Her. Tell Her that while SHE might not care about what's she's doing to HER Health (not to mention- Others), it DOES Concern You. And if She Insists on smoking in Your pressence, then maybe you'll take that "pressence" -Elsewhere. Our Choices- have Consequences. And HERS- might be serious enough- to limit her Relationships... YOU can't change HER. You can only do what's BEST for You... :)Health Question & Answer

This is only bad if you do this a lot. Your lungs can actually heal from cigarette smoke but prolonged inhalation will cause damage and probably shorten your life span.Health Question & Answer
