Not really, no.
If you work in a smoke-filled bar for 20 years or something, second-hand smoke is probably bad for you although the evidence for even that is much weaker than originally claimed.
Second-hand smoke outdoors in open air has very little in evidence to support claims that it's going to do much to you.

- kyuudou 7y agoYea but if you've ever been a regular smoker then successfully quit, the smell is infuriating because 1) it smells SO disgusting unless it's something like pipe tobacco or American Spirits 2) the temptation to have one, while brief, is strong 1 and 2 combine for a moment of micro-anger Whether or not second-hand smoke is carcinogenic or otherwise detrimental, the smell alone should force a public ban. Or my solution: let businesses determine whether or not they want to allow smoking and for the most part the non-smokers will self-segregate to the non-smoking establishments just to avoid smelling like a cancerous ashtray.
