Want to know what is the safe zone for a non-smoker. Do the chemicals reach me even when I don't smell anything or perhaps it is safe even when I do notice the smell?

Thank you

Not all the chemicals you smell in cigarette smoke are good for you, so if the smell reaches you, so do small amounts of the not-good-for-you stuff. You didn't mention if you have multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS). People with this condition may have strong reactions to even dilute odors.

Smells are usually caused by chemicals right? So id imagine you get the toxins in you if you can smell them. I wouldnt worry about it tho because such small quanitites are probably not going to affect you unless you live in a house with heavy smokers

There is also the physical impact of particles. Small enough particles, especially the really small ones ( PM 2.5) do physical damage and contribute to cancer even if they are not inherently toxic in their chemical makeup.
