What is the link between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and asthma?
ETS is a potent trigger for asthma and upper respiratory tract infections. Many good scientific studies show that children should not be around smoke at all! Even being in a home or car where smoke lingers can bring on an asthma attack. The smell of smoke on clothing can also trigger asthma. A health care provider can help people quit smoking by providing them with different smoking cessation options and support. Dr.
