I don't think so...but I would stay away from it anyways.....it isn't good for your health to be around that and he should respect that and go outside and smoke instead.

I have been told to stay away from second hand smoke.

Doctors told my husband a few times, to give up smoking because I should not be around it. He only occasionally smoked a cigar but now it is rare and if he does it is outside, and then he showers and puts on clean cloths.
