Lead is occasionally a contaminant in cigarettes. Lead arsenate may be used as an insecticide in tobacco growing. But don't worry, the very small amount you might get from second hand smoke is nothing. There is much more lead in fish and other things....not to say cigarette smoke is ok, just saying you won't get lead poisoning from them.

The common item is both lead and arsenic can cause heavy metal poisoning
