is secondhand smoke actually breathing in smoke or just being in the same room as someone smoking?

Its when you are breathing the smoke in and its way worse than the person who is actually smoking because they have a filter you don't.

Same thing as passive smoking. You are breathing in a smoker's exhalation of cigarette smoke that contains 4800 chemicals in the same room or standing near a smoker.

First hand smoke is the smoke your inhaling from the cigarrette. Second hand smoke is the smoke blowing out of the person's mouth. That smoke is more harmful. Because you've got the carbon-dioxcide from your body, the nicotine,tar, and filter smoke all combined...

well even if u are in the same room as someone who smokes, if u are not actually breathing it, it won't get into ur body into ur lungs and affect you so you would have to breathe the smoke in.

If you are in the same room, you definitely are breathing in the smoke.

it is beeing the same room with a smoker, in which you WILL breathe in their smoke, so it is kinda both. it is also worse for you than them b/c they have a filter and you don't

Smoke is smoke and its bad for you. More women get cancer from second hand smoke than smoking themselves. It's an awful habbit.... Stay away from it honey!
