It would mean that passive smoking accounted for a higher chance of heart attacks than actively smoking.

So smoking 20 a day would increase your risk of heart attack by less than someone passive smoking.
Is it seriously being suggested that if you took 100 smokers and 100 non-smokers, and didn't introduce the smoking ban, 17 of the smokers would have smoking related heart attacks, while 20 of the non-smokers would have smoking related heart attacks???

That would mean that if you live with a smoker who won't go outside for a fag, you're better off smoking too as there'll be less chance of having a heart attack.

The smoke at the tip of the cigarette is inhailed in greater quantities by the smoker than anyone else.
