Thank you for asking!
As active smoking does the damage, so does the passive one too.As you are allergic to it. The headaches can be explained. You can ask your wife to compromise, make a smoke free zone. Or use of mouth freshners after smoking. Avoidance of tobacco from an unknown person is difficult. From a close relative or partner i don't think that should be a problem to the extent to consider a room change.
Take simple acetaminophen for the headaches at night.
Hope it helps
