A member asked:
Can you be allergic to cigarette smoke?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Even though there is not an allergy to cigarette smoke, the smoke is an irritant which can cause inflammation in the air passages in the nose and the lung. It is especially troublesome in people with allergies and asthma.

No: But smoke is a natural irritant that can manifest as all the same symptoms to a typical allergic reaction.
