How bad is second hand smoke?

My mom is a big time smoker and has big time smoker friends. She smokes cigarettes in the house and in the car when driving me to school. I don't smoke as I am a sophomore in high school (and don't plan to), but I know that me inhaling all of the smoke isn't good.

So my question is how bad of an effect does this have on my lungs? This may sound stupid, but are my mom and I both at equal risk for lung cancer (induced by smoking) because I'm inhaling it?

And no, I can't get a ride to school or stay in my room because it's all around the house, and the only TV/computer that I can do my homework on is where she always is, the living room. I can't do my homework on my kindle.

Thanks!
