Is your asthma triggered by wood smoke?

Good to hear I’m not the only one with hypersensitivity to smells. I can smell a cigarette or fire pit from a block away it seems. I have walked out of small stores of another customer reeked of cigarettes. I am a former smoker and was hypnotized to quit so that compounds my reaction to the cancer stick. The woodsmoke though is devastating. The horrific migraine and affect on my breathing even if the fireplace hasn’t been used in a year is enough to make me sit out of family vacations.

Never smoke but parents were chain smokers. I know when my mother would pick up up in the car she would be smoking and the entire car full of smoke. I would start coughing and she says "don't like it get out and walk." So I would and walks miles to my home.
I don't think anyone knows how irritating smoke of any kind is to those sensitive to smoke. The American Cancer Society states that "there is no safe level of second hand smoke." And unless you are smoking it is all second hand smoke.
I have gone through many allergy testing but I think smoke is an irritant that is unhealthy for anyone to breath.
