Can Passive Smoking Lead To Health Problems?
should I be concerned about second hand smoke from a club that I go to about once a week. I am a non smoker and it has a ventilation system. I don't go anymore but I did for about 5 years in University.. Should I be concerned about any problems in the future?

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Damage to second hand depend on duration/frequency of second hand smoke, history of respiratory problem and family history of any smoking related illness. Usually body repair self after quitting smoking or second hand smoking.
In your case exposure was infrequent and you are away from it for long time. In that case, there is no need to worry for any problem in the future due to second hand smoking history in college time.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
