yes second hand smoke can cause this and many more problems. thats why many USA states now have laws about smoking around other people, smoking around children, some even have laws that there is no smoking in homes and vehicles, and public places and have to be 20 feet away from any doors and windows which helps to prevent second hand smoke from affecting others. some states even have been upping the price and fines for smokers, and providing free help to quit smoking.
my suggestion is when your starts lighting up maybe you can either walk away telling her you will talk with her after she is done with her smoking break or you find other ways to not be around her while she is lighting up and smoking.
