Answers:
first of all, congrats on quitting :D
i can imagine how tough that must be.

hanging out with your friends while they smoke isn't necessarily the same as smoking.
you don't inhale the chemicals which keep you addicted.
but secondhand smoke is just as dangerous to your health.
when you're out with your friends, maybe you could even convince them to quit as well - it's much harder to go it alone.
if i were you i'd just try to keep my distance from them while they're smoking. don't stand down-wind, you know.? lolHealth Question & Answer

If you and your buddies are going outside, the second hand smoke isn't as potent as opposed to indoors, of course. I wouldnt' recommend it though, because watching your buddy puff a drag can become tempting. Keep up the good work! I personally, haven't quite quit yet. I do have periodic hiatuses lasting 1-3 weeks, usually between party weekends. Alcohol and cigs are a perfect pair, and the tag-team has an unfair advantage.Health Question & Answer

as a current smoker I would first applaud you for making this decision to quit smoking. I really need to follow your lead. It did prompt me to do some research on my own please if you would read what I found. Good luck and good health my friend.

Secondhand smoke has been classified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a known cause of cancer in humans (Group A carcinogen).2


Secondhand smoke exposure causes disease and premature death in children and adults who do not smoke. Secondhand smoke contains hundreds of chemicals known to be toxic or carcinogenic, including formaldehyde, benzene, vinyl chloride, arsenic ammonia and hydrogen cyanide.3


Secondhand smoke causes approximately 3,400 lung cancer deaths and 22,700-69,600 heart disease deaths in adult nonsmokers in the United States each year.4Health Question & Answer

Yes, this really does cancel your efforts to stop smoking. NOT to say you should return to smoking again, because you shouldn't. I studied in my health class that second-hand smoking is actually worse than actually smoking yourself. So to actually rid yourself of the smoke you should let them go out smoking by themselves and hang with them when they're done smoking.Health Question & Answer

forget all that ..................my mother in law died of cancer,never smoked, firstly she had asoficus cancer (spelt wrong) went through all the operation to remove it,workrd successfully but they didnt notice the 3 tumours on her spine that eventually killed her............i think your card is marked,whats meant to be is meant to be & thats how it goesHealth Question & Answer

good for you on quitting. i dont think going out when ur friends are is failing your efforts as long as your not smokin. some people say its better to be around people who smoke it must be hard tho but as long as ya keep tellin yourself i dont want to smoke over and over it myt helpHealth Question & Answer

Try not to be around the smokers if possible, it will only make you want a cigarette too. I smoked for 35 years and quit 5 years ago so I know if I could quit anyone could. Don't give in and in a few months it will be a lot better.Health Question & Answer

Smoking is a disgusting habit. When I look at a guy and I find out he is a nonsmoker, his sex appeal goes way up.
Come on, who wants to lick and ash tray.? Not me.Health Question & Answer

Yeah second hand smoking is gonna do just as much damage as firsthand you need to keep your distance from them on their smoke break.
