Answers:
Secondhand smoke increases the risk of lung cancer in dogs.
http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/research_data/environmental/etsfact3.htm
Dogs that inhale cigarette smoke are three times more likely to develop lung or nasal cancer than their counterparts in smoke-free homes, says Dr. John Reif, DVM, who has spent many years studying the effects of environmental pollution on animals. "We already know second-hand smoke causes lung cancer in humans and it also appears that there is a cancer risk in animals," says Dr. Reif, who is on faculty at Colorado State University's School of Veterinary Medicine. Reif's research identifies risk with breed. Long-nosed dogs, such as Collies, are more likely to develop nasal cancer because smoke and carcinogens are filtered in the nose and exposed to more tissue. In short-nosed dogs, such as Pugs, Boxers or Boston Terriers, carcinogens head straight to the lungs. http://www.dogparlor.com/smokepets.html

My best friend is a vetranarian
I don't think she was talking about the dog. I think she asked, what harm would it be to smoke around a dog.
If that was the question, than I think the smoke harms him. A dog smells things his entire life:toys, furniture, bushes, the ground he wants to mark as his territory etc.
I think the smoke would ruin his accuracy in smelling and would give him a disease, possibly involving his lungs.
I hope that was your question, otherwise I don't know what to tell if your dog actually smoked.
If that idea with a pet contest were possible, than try it.
Good luck solving this.
