Is there such a thing as an allergy to nicotine smoke?
Hello, Tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 chemical components and you can imagine that one of them may cause a particularly strong allergic reaction in an allergic person. Tobacco smoke has a particularly negative effect on the respiratory tract, both in smokers and the so-called passive smokers. In a person with asthma, which is an allergic condition, the effects of tobacco smoke on the bronchi can significantly worsen the symptoms of allergy. Every year, more than 200,000 serious scientific papers on the effects of tobacco smoke on the human body are published in the world - all publications speak only of negative aspects, no positive effects of tobacco smoke have ever been reported. If you are in the company of a smoker, please provide this person with the above information. Regards, MD Krystyna Knypl
