Looking at the children who have asthma that I know they all come from non-smoking families. Could it be that living in a too clean environment makes people more susceptible to certain illnesses and diseases? More children these days suffer from respiratory problems although the percentage of people smoking is falling. Is it the case that there are more pollutants in the air from sources other than tobacco smoke that is causing this increase or is it a weakening of the immune system? Smoking will naturally get the blame though as it is the easy target.
