Second-Hand Smokeless Smoke

[RocketManJames]

This might be a really dumb question... but, here it goes anyway.

Take a car that has been smoked in for many years. Even after a thorough internal cleaning, you know how it smells inside. It's got that lingering smoke smell. Now, say you have to sit in this car for a long time. Is this actually bad for you in the same way that second hand smoke is bad for you?

I am guessing no, but it's nothing more than a guess. The thing that makes me doubt my guess is that if you are able to smell that smoker's smell, doesn't that mean that something is travelling into your nose?
