Please point me to the evidence that occassionally passing by a smoker on the street will increase your risk of cancer.

I certainly don't need to post my CV to establish who's more qualified, and I'll comfortably go on record saying second hand smoke exposure will increase your risk compared to no exposure. My argument is that the risk increase is
not zero, while your position seems to be that it is zero with vague qualifiers attached. My conclusion is extensively documented in high quality medical literature, and you can easily find this yourself in a real library. Furthermore, you repeatedly attempt to confound the issue by talking about other carcinogens, despite them being irrelevant to the correlation of second hand smoke & increased risk.

Our professional code stipulates that I have a moral obligation to be an advocate for health and wellness, particularly in the public domain. I fear no consequences for publicly calling out your bullsh*t in writing.
