If you are not a regular marijuana user, you will not likely test positive on a UA due to second hand smoke, unless you repeatedly suck it into your lungs and hold it. Keep in mind that many employers don’t use urine tests, and instead use the hair test method. With this test, you could test positive by just being in the room with a user. A co-worker of my wife’s lost her job at a casino because her husband smoked pot in the house. She was not a user at all.
