I really don't know enough about the effects of second-hand smoke causing cancer to make a call on it, but that anecdote does seem to support the fact that it does. The thing is, even if it doesn't, it's pretty obvious that it can hurt people in other ways. I suspect that I might be mildly allergic to it myself, although I rarely have any reaction unless it's really close.
What constitutes a safe working environment is debatable, but I see your point. I certainly wouldn't want to work in a place with a lot of smoke in the air.
