Covid second hand smoke ?

I passed by someone outside that was smoking. He was about 12 feet away but I smelled the strong smoke. Should I be concerned about the virus?

    I would be more concerned about the second hand smoke than a virus you’ll survive.

    You'll be fine.

    But yes, you should be concerned about the virus... in general.

    Wear your mask, maintain social distancing and wash your hands.

    Cigarette smoke is denser than air and it lingers and creates an awful musk, but I doubt any covid-19 particles could reach you from that distance. I would suggest you wear a mask in any place where you are in doors with strangers. That second hand cigarette smoke probably isn't all that harmful by comparison.
