The correlation between these diseases and second hand smoke in these studies is recall.  Everyone over 40 can say they have been exposed to secondhand smoke in restaurants airplanes offices etc.

From your own BMJ study...

"Based on these findings, exposure to environmental tobacco smoke could not plausibly cause a 30% increase in risk of coronary heart disease in this cohort, although a 20% increase in risk of lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease could not be ruled out."

The study is not saying it isn't dangerous it is saying it is not as dangerous as first believed. It is dangerous, 30% increase, 20%increase, 5% increase, no one else should be at risk for someone else habit. The WHO, CDC, Mayo clinic, and Cleveland clinic all agree it is dangerous. I am going to side with them on this one...
