Does tobacco secondary smoke transmit viruses?

I was sitting next to a person whose odor reeked of cigarettes, and he was coughing. I know that a lot of tobacco smoke is oils and colloids, and it seems sensible that these structures could maintain viruses as they travel through the air.

Has anyone generated a study that uses tobacco smoke as the vector of virus transmission?

Update:

Stephen: Yah, and if the colloids capture enough sputum to maintain a virus for the one minute it takes for that guy's exhale to reach my lungs, then as my body absorbs the colloid, I might be subject to infection.

I am asking if anyone has conducted the study of duration within smoke for which the virus can be maintained.

    I think that if anyone has conducted a study of duration of this...they certainly would not be the sort to hang around this website. Try contacting a university.

    Firstly lung cancer is not caused by a virus from the other person.

    I would think that smoke would not be an effective medium for viral transmission. Firstly for the virus to get into the smoke would require very precise and fast reactions between the virus and the smoke constituents. Secondly, the virus would have to perform the same manoeuvres inside the other set of lungs.

    It should be noted that a smoker is more likely to cough because of lung damage than a viral infection.

    Yes, it does. You can get lung cancer from second-hand smoke because of the carcinogens that he has coughed up.
