a lot, even more than the person who smokes ..they have a filter you don't  .  i would try to talk with you parents and get them to make the house a smoke free place . when they smoke go out side or in a room aways from the other people in the house with a air purifier so it don't contaminate  the rest of the house ... smoking should be outlawed .. my mother died for a smoking illness at the age of 42...
