Hi,
Second hand cigarette smoke is well known to cause tobacco related problems in people who do not smoke. Though there is no equivalent data for passive inhalation of cannabis fumes, it can very well be assumed that it is not something that is good for you. I would suggest that if you cannot stop him from smoking, at least ensure that the windows are open and the ventilation is good.
Best wishes.
