Hi, if I spend some time in a room where people smoke I become breathing problems, my eyes itch, and I am irritated. Is it cigarette smoke allergy?

Cigarette smoke contains a number of toxic chemicals and irritants, and provokes reaction in healthy people. However, in cases of an allergy aggravated symptoms are developed. People with allergies may be more sensitive to cigarette smoke than other people. Children and spouses of smokers are more prone to respiratory infections and asthma than people who are not forced to live with smoke. Nasal congestion, coughing, hoarseness are also related to this kind of allergy. Anyway, you must perform a test to precisely determine what are you allergic to.
