Answer:
Theoretically I think the answer might be yes. Nicotine is very addictive and the effect of passive smoking is very real! This is why the smoking in public places ban exists. If you have spent a lifetime across the table from a chain smoking spouse or work in a pub or club which still allows smoking, it has been clearly demonstrated that your risk of chronic bronchitis , lung cancer and heart disease is measurably elevated. One of the best, or perhaps worst example, was Roy Castle. Apparently he worked in smokey clubs but never smoked. He died of a type of lung cancer which is virtually unique to smokers.
Nicotine is removed from your body 72 hours after you stop smoking.
well, that certainly deserves some consideration, doesnt it. I would think it could certainly be possible, I am in the quitting smoking process right now, and my cravings are insane...I think it would stand to reason that a person exposed to second hand smoke would have some detox and withdrawal. Interesting question, I shall give you a star
Yes, easily.
no passive smoking you mostly inhale the smoke which contains nominal amounts of nicotine practically none so the body doesn't register the nicotine
