second-hand smoke
Bystander's tobacco exposure
Second-hand smoke is tobacco smoke inhaled by people other than the smoker—the ambient smoke from a burning cigarette plus what the smoker exhales.
Health concerns about second-hand smoke drove smoking bans in restaurants, bars, and workplaces: The kids shouldn't be exposed to second-hand smoke.
Also called passive smoke or environmental tobacco smoke.
