I'm needing to find out if someone could actually be allergic to smoke?  Also if they were to inhale it could they ever have numbness in there legs and not be able to walk?  If at possible could i get some of the symptons that goes along with being allergic to smoke to better help myself.

People are not allergic to smoke.  Smoke is not an allergen, but it is definitely an irritant.  Inhaling smoke could cause irritation of the lungs and/or sinuses.  This could cause coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, sinus headaches or pressure.  However it would not cause numbness in the legs that would keep a person from walking.
