Tobacco is worse. It's not going away.

Would be really great if true, but is unfortunately a drug scare myth from the 60s.

A couple months after I stopped smoking - and this was years ago - I believe that I got a contact high. It was not like a normal high, it was more like a subtle body-only high. But then if you're sitting in a room with five people smoking steadily for a couple hours I doubt you're really worried about second-hand exposure.

If you are in a room with five people smoking steadily for a couple of hours, that's not a contact high: that's second hand inhalation.

And I'd hazard that it would be mostly the hydrocarbons, which would square with your experience.
