is it real bad to smoke

is it real bad to smoke when you have Asthma

[National Jewish Health]

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.

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.

umm thank you i realy needed the advice i know a 18 year old girl that is in high school and goes to school everyday stinks of smoke what kind of advice should i give her

[no2smoking]

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...
