The "second-hand smoke" theory holds that it is more dangerous to be around a smoker than to be the smoker. That's clearly bullshevik.
I never said it was more dangerous but the fact that it's harder to breath around smokers tells me it's not doing nothing. They can make all the bullshit excuses they want but it's just that... bullshit. Go to a Riverboat Casino and tell me smokers do nothing to others. It's a ridiculous argument.

Not intentionally, but the whole "Secondhand Smoke" catchphrase was about the notion that it was more dangerous.
I agree that smoking causes respiratory irritation to others around the smoker, and it stinks. My problem is that all the "karens" who fake-cough to passive-aggressively shame smokers hurts me as I too often cough a bit in response to smoking.
I'm still on the fence about some of the evidence for "secondhand smoke", like the supposed lungs of a secondhand smoker being blackened, or the ceiling of Grand Central Station (Jew York City) having been stained black by decades of mass smoking.
