Was talking with a friend last week about cigerette smoke, and how it causes my lungs to tighten up. She doesn't think that it can cause an asthma attack. Telling her anything different didn't work cause she was sure she was right.
So it got me to thinking. Does being around someone who smokes, or walking by people who smoke, or where smoke has been, does it cause your asthma to flair up?

Thats a well known fact. Smoke of any kind can trigger asthma attacks depending on the person. I think it varies how severely it affects and if it does at all, but I've definately hear that before.

Asthma attacks not only the smoker but also the person who inhails the smoke
