Tobacco Smoke can make asthma worse.
All types of smoke from cigarettes, cigars, and pipes are harmful triggers that can bring on an asthma attack. Smokers should be asked to not smoke near someone with asthma. However smoke stays in the air and can travel from room to room, which may still cause breathing difficulties for a person with asthma. Other smoke triggers like indoor smoke from fireplaces and outdoor smog can also make asthma worse. Exercise is fine for individuals whose asthma is properly managed.
