Secondhand smoke is poisonous and has over 4000 chemicals, including 50 that can cause cancer. Breathing secondhand smoke can be more dangerous than inhaling smoke through a cigarette. It has twice as much nicotine and tar as the smoke that people smoking inhale and five times more carbon monoxide, a deadly gas that starves your body of oxygen.

It's technically worse than normal smoking; which doesn't make sense. But if someone that doesn't smoke breaths in your smoke, it's slightly worse; because they might not be used to it.
