Can the smell of smoke trigger asthma?

Haan bilkul, smoke se toh asthma ka attack aa sakta hai, na? Chahe wo pooja ka dhoop ho ya kachra jalane ka dhuan, bahut dikkat hoti hai. Isse door hi rehna chahiye.

I can only share what happens to me, but yes, even the slight smell of cigarette smoke or incense sticks at home triggers my wheezing instantly. I always have to wear a mask or leave the room immediately.

Oh absolutely! I love street food, but the heavy smoke from tandoors and roadside grills sometimes makes my asthmatic friends choke instantly. Better to order in than stand near all that smoke!
