Not at all, that isn't the way it works. I could have developed asthma caused by something else. But had I not lived in tobacco smoke I would most likely not be allergic to it today. I have said this over and over, "you become allergic to the things that you are exposed to" IF you have inherited the allergy gene.

I will give you an example. Years ago I could pull poison ivy down with my hands. Then I got one tiny bump, next time a few more bumps. Finally I became severely allergic to it. My own stupid fault, I can't blame my parents for that.

Therefore your entire contribution to this discussion is pointless.

Your anecdotal evidence supports nothing. It is a personal health issue for you which you admit could just as easily be triggered by any other particulate matter that you were exposed to.

I'm only amazed that you bothered to offer it. Are you honestly of the opinion that it proves some kind of point?
