Did breathing meth/crack smoke give me asthma?

It doesn’t sound unreasonable. Areas with a lot of smog and air pollution tend to have a higher rate of asthmatics in the population, so I don’t think it would be impossible to think that breathing noxious fumes within your home could potentially contribute to your developing asthma.
Personally, I developed asthma after a brutal case of pneumonia in my late teens.. so I wouldn’t rule that out as a possibility, either. Living around smokers prior to this incident could have been causing you chronic lung irritation, which will also contribute to the likelihood of one developing asthma. The pneumonia may have been the “straw that broke the camel’s back,” so to speak. By “smokers” I assume you mean cigarettes… but overall, I can see how frequently breathing in irritants like that could probably be a contributing factor, if not the cause.

it didn’t help

You come across here as someone that would not put up with crap from anyone. I’m really surprised you would have put up with anyone doing drugs in your home. I would think it did contribute somewhat to your asthma.

You smoke a pipe and you have asthma? Are you high? (get it?)

@chyna She was a comrade. She belonged to the same organization I represent, and I felt obliged to take a risk. The risk didn’t pan out this time, but it has many times in the past. My personal philosophy is that if you want someone to be trustworthy, you begin by showing them trust.

@Rarebear I enjoy my pipe, but I don’t smoke regularly. When I’m in the mood I might smoke once every two or three days, but sometimes I’ll go weeks or even months between bowls. One doesn’t deliberately inhale pipe smoke (it ruins the flavour of the tobacco), which may be why it doesn’t trigger my asthma. On the other hand, certain types of second-hand cigarette smoke are capable of giving me instant asthma attacks.

Try sleeping in an reclined upright position instead of lying flat to relieve stress on your lungs and watch out for complications from that flu…like pneumonia. Your compromised lungs are a prime candidate for that. Get well soon.

@SmashTheState You don’t inhale the smoke directly, but you are exposed to it.

Tell the doctor (who diagnosed you with asthma and/or prescribed you the pumps) that you smoke a pipe but don’t inhale. See what he/she says.

I just had a terrible bout of bronchitis last fall which led me to develop asthma,so I know it can develop suddenly. And hell yeah, I think exposure to that kind of chemical nastiness might be accountable for your asthma.
