My parents DID smoke around my brother and me from day one and we DID develop asthma and today at ages 61 and 66 we STILL have breathing problems when we are around 2nd hand smoke.

So there you have it! Some people are affected by tobacco smoke and some aren't.

Most problems are genetically inherited. If you check the genealogy of your family you may find that relatives from the past had these same problems and may have never smoked.

But to say that 'some people are affected by tobacco' just isn't true. Without proof of causation, which does not exist, then you can't qualify the condition without researching other possible effects through heredity.

And you know for a fact that you wouldn't have developed asthma if it hadn't been for your parents' smoking?

This, of course, is most likely the truth.
