Yes, it is bad. If they are smoking cigarettes too, then you have the effect of side-stream smoke, that is, smoke which is released from the idle cigarette burning away in the person?s fingers. That is worse than smoking cigarettes itself. The worse concern is, that in the company of such friends is where all bad habits, start. Your peer group is the greatest influence on you in many things. If you keep good company, their goodness will rub off on you too.

Dear . Definitely. Passive smoking is as harmful as active smoking. Avoid hanging out with such friends in such situations. Take care.
