Cosleeping toddler with smoker father

Since we took the sides of her cot off, my 2.5 toddler climbs into our bed, but my husband is a smoker (he doesn't smoke in the house but during work breaks and bottom of our garden.)

Is this ok or are we putting my dd's health at risk? I know babies shouldn't cosleep with a smoker due to risk of cot death, but is a toddler past this risk?

Grateful if anyone knows.

Toddlers are well past any risk of cot death. There are other issues around children being exposed to smoking residues but I think they are minor.
