It certainly didn't help me any. Surely you can admit that there can be more than one trigger. And you're surely not going to claim that SHS would have no effect on a kid already prone to athsma.
If I had a child with asthma, I surely wouldn't take him anywhere that there was smoke.
But I understand that there are drugs today for kids with asthma, so they can participate in sports, etc, and to be able to handle every day life better.
I think this is great! :)
