Asalaamu Alaikum, According to Maulana Emraan Vawda:
Second hand smoking like the smoke if incense sticks, does break ones fast, however its intake is subjected to TWO conditions:
In case of unintentional intake of such smoke, may it be from incense, diesel, or smoking the fast will be valid. and not only valid but without Karahiat ( no Makrooh ) . However if one stands in a smoking area or goes close to someone smoking with the intention that one will inhale smoke, then his fast is broken and it will not be an accidental nullification rather willfull one. Full Kafara will be required.
And Allah knows best in all matters
