Yes, actually a second hand smoker could die faster than the smoker himself. This is because the smoker breaths out the smoke of the cigarette before it could reach his lungs, while the second hand smoker breaths in the air containing the smoke and all the carbon-monoxide and other poisonous chemicals to their lungs.
