i have asthma and i go to high school...i dont smoke but even being around smoker my asthma gets worked up...just tell her u care about her and smoking is just unhealthy whether u have asthma or not, but since she does have asthma it is more likely she will have worse trouble breathing than other smokers... i would also show her pictures of smoking effects and asthma effects and if u could both that would scare her and lastly if u kno anyone with asthma and has smoked in the past, not currently, to talk to her about what has happened to them and why they have stopped but i think pictures will help...

Umm i would certianly think so !  The smoke is what kills your lungs . and if your lungs arent working properly now and your smoking thats just making them worse.

Smoking can cause the asthma to flare.  Also smoking can cause you to develop other lung problems, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in addition to having asthma.
