You are already having respiratory problems and mental imbalance, and you are still asking whether it can affect you.
Presently, you are what they call a secondary smoker, someone who doesn't smoke cigarettes but inhales the cigarette smoke. It is even more dangerous than primary smoking, from what i heard and gathered.

smoking does affect you,
Read on,
Research has generated scientific evidence that secondhand smoke (that is, in the case of cigarettes, a mixture of smoke released from the smoldering end of the cigarette and smoke exhaled by the smoker) causes the same problems as direct smoking, including heart disease,[5] cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, and lung ailments such as COPD, bronchitis and asthma.[6] Specifically, meta-analyses have shown lifelong non-smokers with partners who smoke in the home have a 20–30% greater risk of lung cancer, and those exposed to cigarette smoke in the workplace have an increased

It affects you more than him. Infact you have the greatest disadvantage cause you inhale all the flames coming from him because you don't do it and you are not allegic to it, it affects you internally too, the lungs especially due to the offensive odour you inhale.
Why not tell him to smopke outside the room if at all hw wants to instead turning the place to a bar.

Your Roommate gave you a pass to the chain smokers association without you even knowing! Second hand smoke inhalation is more deadly than smoking the real thing.

If he is in secondary smoking level, you are in semi secondary level.
Even to my own observations you are the one enjoying the it more, because' you enhal it, you can tell the best taste of it.
Better do something or else in the three-four months of continuation you will become smoking champion, its a habbit.
Talk to him to be staying outside instead of staying in the room.
The answer is YES! it will affect you. A stitch in time saves nine.

Of course it will affect thee!
Has thou not heard that common being in a smoke-polluted area is equivalent to smoking 40 sticks of cigarettes?!
One for advice for thee:
Tell thy friend to go smoke somewhere else!

Second hand smoke poses adverse effects to your lungs like asthma, lung cancer according to the American lung Association. You might be saving a lot of money in the long run if you move out into a place of your own, or share with a non-smoker. http://www.lungusa.org/site/pp.asp?c=dvLUK9O0E&b=35422 |

If you room mate smokes it dose affect you alot Like one of our friend did reffer you, Illd love to check effects of ETS- environmental tobacco somoke on tobacco free kids sight , According to sicintiffic reseach Ets or passive smookers inhale four times more casnogenes than the actual smoker so it means that for every one cigarette stick smoked by yur room mate, in the room you inhale four cigarette wort of tobacco and all the harmful substance it contains .
It may intrest you to allso note that every cigratte smoked cuts lif expectancy for the smoker by 5 miniutes so it means for a passive smoker it cuts life by 20 minuits
Beside that a lot of health issues also comes along like Inpotence for men Respiratory and cardiovascular deases, ploluminary health conditions and of cause cancer and birth complication for women
.
I think you should either move out that appartment or get him to stop using cigarrets in the room.
you should also have your health cheecked since you said you have stated having respirotary probleme, as the saying goes a stich in time saves nine. Finally you can assert your rights by seeking legal action against not only your room mate but tobacco companies
You could visit the coalition against tobacco office at #2 aroromi street Of molny street at obalande in Lagos for mor advice and assistance.
