The only concern there is if you live in a police state with little respect for privacy and personal freedom (e.g. random drug testing for jobs, etc), because you could falsely test positive, but it's still extremely unlikely. As far as health risk goes, you're fine. If you avoid intoxicants until you've finished growing (say, 18 years or so), your brain will have completed its normal development, and will be extremely resistant to a lot of chemicals; it would take years of HEAVY cannabis usage to make a dent in a typical human's massive collection of brain cells. Don't sweat it. :-) The only side effect might be trace amounts in your bloodstream for the next few hours, and metabolytes (by-products of consumption) can be stored in fat (longer lasting), but you’d need to inhale A LOT of indirect smoke even for that.

But being that it's secondhand.. I doubt it would be enough to do any damage. I wouldn't start to worry until you start craving cheetos and your short term memory goes out the window. =) You can get a contact high which would mean that it would be in your system.. and therefore could possibly fail a drug test.
