Exposure to secondhand smoke in early pregnancy

How long does it take for a one-time exposure to 2nd hand smoke to be harmful to an early pregnancy? I was exposed for about half an hour to electronic cigarette smoke, I may have been around 1-2 weeks pregnant at that time (wasn’t aware and hence didn’t really make an exceptional effort to move away). Do you think it might have affected the baby and should I worry about this?

It should be fine. Usually early pregnancy we might all have accidentally drink alcohol or been exposed to smoke a little. As long as we stop immediately after we know it should be OK.
