Can smoking make my asthma and/or allergies worse than they already are?
The answer to this is YES, smoking can definitely make your asthma and/or allergies worse. When tobacco smoke gets into the eyes, ears and lungs of a person with asthma and/or allergies, it makes their symptoms worse. In fact, tobacco smoke triggers asthma and makes people with allergies more sensitive to pollen, mold and dust mites.
