Bob Church has posted on the topic of second-hand smoke several times in
the past.  Go to the FML archives and search for "second-hand smoke" --
or just go to FML issue 3190 (which has a good scientific reference on
the dangers of second-hand smoke in ferrets).
 
You should clean the room(s) floor to ceiling where your ferrets are
kept.  Scrub the walls, floors -- every surface.  Then smoke outside --
all the time.  Second-hand smoke is very bad for ferrets (and other
living things).
 
I hope you are able to quit smoking at some time in the future.  I quit
nearly 12 years ago and it's one of the best things I've ever done for
myself.  (Here's how I did it:
