Not My Cigarette, But Still My Problem: Protecting Your Lungs from Others' Smoke

You don't smoke, but your lungs still feel the burn. In this crucial episode of Asthma Friend, we tackle the silent, often overlooked ways other people's smoking affects your asthma.

Join us as we uncover the hidden dangers of secondhand and thirdhand smoke, explaining how lingering toxins from clothes, furniture, and even hair can trigger severe asthma attacks, especially in children.

We'll share practical, empathetic strategies for setting boundaries with smokers in your family and social circles, helping you advocate for your lung health without confrontation.

Learn tangible steps to create a tobacco-free home, making it a true sanctuary for asthmatics. We'll also address the real-world challenge of workplace smoking zones and how drifting smoke can impact your breathing every day.

This episode is for non-smokers with asthma, concerned caregivers, and anyone striving to create a healthier, smoke-free environment. Your breath is your right. Tune in to understand the problem, empower yourself, and start breathing easier.
