It depends on the duration and amount of smoke exposed.

HI XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
Second hand smoking affects the same way as direct smoking. What matters is the amount of smoke that you inhale and the duration for which you are exposed to the smoke.
1. So if your friend smokes outside your car then you can just ask him to wait for 1-2 minutes before entering your car as in this duration all the smoke will be gone . ( Though his mouth may have the odour of smoke )
2. The same duration holds good for a husband also-- 1-2 minutes.
3. Answering your third question , it depends on the wind or ventilation, if there is a good amount of breeze or wind blowing then just 3-4 minutes if enough after they finish.
But if the wind is not blowing that well then it would be better you wait for 10 minutes after they finish smoking.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
Regards.
