Regarding second hand smoking
My friends do cigrate smoking everytime when i meet them, i am the only one who is opposed to have a cigrate smoke. Due to this corona situation. I wear one surgical mask first, and a N95 mask above the surgical mask. Double masking. Can the smoke of cigrate can get into the lungs if i have weared the double masking. Does it effects the lungs??. This is the first time i met them inside a house where we barely maintained 1 metre distance. But i wored double masking. I feel the smell of the cigrate smoking, but i don't know whether it will effects my lungs. Please guide me
