Is it ok to smoke with ALLERGY INDUCED ASTHMA?


Is it ok to smoke with ALLERGY INDUCED ASTHMA?
Hello I was wondering if it is ok to smoke with Allergy Induced Asthma.

I have only had a asthma attack once and that was because I was allergic to codeine (( That is in some types of cough medicine ))

Anyway I am not looking for general health risks of smoking such as cancer.

If it helps I have smoked before and was just wondering...

Thanks in advance.
I do not want any info other than if it will cause asthma attacks and such.

you,re not using your head. why do something that you know is unhealthy? you already have asthma? do you want emphysema?

Answer by eekmod
Yes, smoking absolutely will cause asthma attacks.

I used to smoke and now even the smell causes severe attacks. It's very irritating to the lungs.

Smoke is an allergen and is a known trigger for asthma attacks. However, if sounds like you have smoked before and have not had asthma attacks, so I would say, you should be OK. Asthma is an allergic reaction to allergens in the airway so certain people may react differentlly to cigarette smoke,

So, I guess you'd be OK. Rumor has it, Tanya Harding, the former Olympic skater was an asthmatic and a smoker. Rumor has it, she would take a hit off her inhaler and then smoke. Supposedly for more of a nicotine buzz. I've seen other people do the same thing.
