I have a bad allergy to smoke...and asthma and a number of related afflications
When I was a wee lad of about 8 years old a doctor explained to me that my lungs could not handle it and it would kill me...scared the daylights out of me and I never pursued the habit further...
I did dabble for a number of years with "smokeless" tobacco products but that is another story entirely...gave that up completely at university...
If I suspect that I will be in a "smoke filled" environment (even campfires etc.) I load up pre-emptively on my allergy medication and keep my inhalers close to hand "just in case" but most times a little planning ahead saves the day...thank goodness for smoke free hotel rooms!
