i'm not saying that people have wolverine style regeneration rates. but the small amount of smoke that they encounter through passive smoking is constantly being fought against by the bodies natural healing ability. this would then extend the amount of time that it takes for the body to develop serious health risks considerably.
i guess i left a fairly long winded post earlier, but the basic gist is that all of the second hand smoke that they breath in does not remain in their lungs and build up, only a fraction of it does. and i feel that it would take years upon years of second hand exposure to even develop a cough.
