From second hand smoke alone - NONE. Cancer is a multiple-factorial medical condition - i.e. several or many factors contribute to its development.
Highly biased and cherry-picked studies by Anti-Tobacco suggest that a small increased risk (around 20%) of lung cancer exists after decades of spousal exposure (ie, 24x7) to second hand smoke. Less biased and more reliable studies have suggested greater increased risks from exposure to the fumes from gas cookers and wood burning stoves.
All these increased risks pale into insignificance when compared to that of a family history of cancer (around a 300% increased risk).
