I've had this cold for about three weeks now. First it was a slight fever, runny nose, etc. and then it just settled to the cough. I have classes with a lot of kids that smoke, and so I'm constantly heading past them to get into the theater. Anyway, what I was wondering, was is it possible to get lung cancer at 19 from breathing in secondhand smoke as you pass by friends during class?

No.

I think it's very unlikely that your level of exposure could lead to lung cancer. Since you had a cold, it's normal for a cough to stick around for a week or two past the rest of the cold symptoms. If it gets worse or doesn't go away in another week, you should see your doctor (but not because it sounds like lung cancer). You might have viral bronchitis. Again, I highly doubt it's lung cancer at your age!

No I don't think so asthma maybe. Though I would go to the doctor and see about the fever. Try an antibiotic
