Could it be real, that smoking makes me feel overcome pollen allergy symptoms for a while? it helps for a brief period.

I don't know the mechamism, but it was successful for brief periods - enough to please patients. It's not good for the cells and tissue, but it can paradoxically reduce symptoms for awhile.
