Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Burnt rubber smoke can cause lung damage through inhalation.
It depends on duration of exposure, amount of smoke in the room and ventilation of room.
In your case, I don't think it will cause much damage to your lungs.
Acute bronchitis is the most immediate complication of it. But you are not having coughing or wheezing with shortness of breath, so this is less likely.
So better not to worry much for lung damage.
