asthma is not caused by smoking!!!!! but smoking makes asthma attack worse!!! Smoking causes COPD instead!!

If he was that clued up about airways he wouldn't be carrying so much weight. And asthma rates have steadily increased while smoking rates have decreased. Smoking has never been indicted as a cause of asthma. Smoke is anti-bacterial (all smoke, not just tobacco) and in no way contributes to the onset of asthma.
