It is considered second hand smoke and there are studies out there that suggest it is as bad- if not worse- for you than actually lighting and puffing on the cigarette yourself. If you find yourself in that situation, ask the person to move. Or, if you are not comfortable to do that, then you should move to a spot with fresh air.

Inhaling the smoke while you are not smoking is not considered smoking but if you inhale it too often it can effect your lungs the same way as it effects the person who is smoking. So, try to avoid the inhaling as much as you can.

It's called second-hand smoking. It's not really smoking, but it can have just as harmful effects as smoking does (ie. asthma, lung cancer, the list goes on).
My suggestion to you would be to try to get anyone you are close to to stop smoking. If that doesn't work, at least ask them to please not smoke around you if you are somewhere where you can't get away and are forced to breathe in the smoke.

some people would consider it smoking your lung's would. but i have heard 2ND hand smoke is worse than actually smoking i think that is bulls--t because your inhaling smoke threw the filter then it passes threw your lungs which is another filter then release into the air which will dilute the smoke kinda like peeing in a pool so i don't think its as worse as smoking itself
