Lung cancer isn't contagious like flu, but if you're around him whe he smokes you can get cancer by breathing in the secondary smoke.

The 'studies' that linked lung cancer to exposure to secondhand smoke related to 'spousal exposure', i.e. 24x7 exposure in the home over several DECADES. Of these studies, over 80% produced inconclusive results and a couple even suggested a beneficial effect. Only by cherry picking the studies that gave the 'right result' and performing some 'creative' statistics on them could they 'prove' an epidemiologically insignificant increase in risk. In other words, had the 'studies' been performed on anything other than smoking, they would have been binned!

IF there is a risk of lung cancer from secondhand smoke, it is grossly over-exaggerated.
