This is the smoke that the smokers exhale. The dictionary meaning for second hand is vaparayel which does not obviously fit here.

Asker: I seek to describe not what people inhale but what is exhaled. Actually it is described in English as SHS or second hand smoke. I want to describe it just before it is inhaled.

આડકતરું ધૂમ્રપાન, આડકતરી રીતે કરેલું ધૂમ્રપાન
હું પોતે ધૂમ્રપાન કરતો નથી પરંતુ મારી બાજુમાં બેઠેલો મારો મિત્ર ધૂમ્રપાન કરીને જે ધૂમાડો છોડે છે તેનાથી મને લાગે છે કે હું પોતે પણ આડકતરી રીતે ધૂમ્રપાન કરું છું અને મારા મિત્રની જેમ એક દિવસ હું પણ આડકતરા ધૂમ્રપાનનો એદી થઇ જઇશ.

પરોક્ષ ધૂમ્રપાન
This is based on this definition:
Second-hand smoke: Environmental tobacco smoke that is inhaled involuntarily or passively by someone who is not smoking.

In that case, it could be translated as ધૂમ્રપાન કરનાર દ્વારા છોડેલો ધુમાડો.
Terms suggested by nke also seem appropriate.

Note from asker:
| But does it not mean passive smoking?? What I need is second hand smoke, (noun) and not as in e.g 'I had a smoke'.. Not the act of smoking but a product of the same. |
| Just struck me that પરોક્ષ ધૂમ્રપાન is actually the effect of second hand smoke..now what?? :) What I really seek is how to describe second hand smoke itself. |
Something went wrong...
