Could i be allergic to cigarette smoke? whenever i am around it, i am either coughing a lot or i can barely breathe, but mainly it's hard to breathe!

Not allergic: This is not an allergy; however, cigarette smoke is an airway irritant. It can trigger coughing and spasm in the airways, especially in patients with asthma.
