Has he thoroughly rejected his former arguments about secondhand smoke? Wasn’t there an entire episode of BS! that claimed that secondhand smoke was essentially harmless, and bans on it were government overreach and hysteria?
I think there’s a clip of him talking about it somewhere that I saw on an episode of Knowing Better, but it was really mealy mouthed. I watched that show obsessively in high school and even then thought that was odd.
Smoking is interesting. Most of the direct harm from smoking comes from the radioactive lead and polonium that the tobacco absorbs from the soil.
Not that other parts of inhaling burning hot smoke aren’t damaging, but the worst of it are those radioisotopes.
I don’t know how much of that shit is deposited vs exhaled, and would need to see studies on it. But there’s a laundry list of other harmful shit in cigarette smoke.

For what it’s worth, here’s a 12 year old video where he walks it back a little.
