Thanks for your question on HCM.
No need to worry for this reason.
As it will not appear in your urine test. So be relax and keep calm.
And momentary exposure of smoke is not causing any big hazard.
Chronic exposure to second hand smoke can damage lungs and cause bronchitis.
So no need to worry about this much exposure. Be relax and keep calm.
I find this answer helpful
