Eventually, I smoked one pack per day until I was 29. For me, smoking never triggered an asthma attack. But I'm sure it might do that for some people.

Last night I went for a walk in The Villages and the air was very humid. It didn't trigger asthma but I could definitely feel the difference. It puts a drag on physical performance.
