Can smoking with asthma kill you?

Question

I have asthma, and I know smoking is bad for it, but sometimes I still light up. My doctor always warns me about the severe risks. Can smoking with asthma actually kill you, or is that just an exaggeration?

Vijay Pathak · Accepted Answer

In my life, I have seen people with asthma suffer terribly because of smoking, and it can indeed lead to fatal attacks. Don't worry, if you make the decision to quit smoking today, your lungs can recover a lot of strength.

Meena Kumari · Answer

Yes, smoking with asthma is extremely dangerous and can trigger life-threatening attacks. Please take care of your lungs and try to stay in smoke-free environments.

Nitin Shah · Answer

Yes, smoking severely blocks airways which can be fatal for asthmatics. Along with quitting, eating a clean vegetarian diet rich in vitamin C and antioxidants will help reduce lung inflammation.

Rahul Verma · Answer

Bro, yes, it can. I have asthma and once tried smoking at a party, and my throat choked up so fast I thought I wouldn't make it. Never touching a cigarette again, it's not worth your life.

Rajesh Gupta · Answer

Yes, it can trigger a sudden severe attack requiring emergency ICU admission which costs a lot of money. It is much wiser to quit smoking and invest in a basic spirometry lung test for 500 rupees to monitor your condition.

Siddharth Goel · Answer

Listen to me, smoking with asthma is literally playing with fire and yes, it can be fatal. Please throw away the cigarettes right now; your life is too precious to lose over a smoking habit.

Haan na, smoking with asthma is very risky and can stop your breathing completely during an attack. It is better to avoid cigarettes completely and do steam inhalation at home, ho na.
