dealing with cigarette allergies
When I used to work on the east coast, the clubs would be so thick with smoke it was visible. Whenever I am around cigarette smoke, the inside of my throat itches and if there is enough smoke, it will start to swell up and my airway shuts.
I used to come home after a night of dancing all that cigarette smoke and cough up blood. (because the lining of my throat would get so irritated)
Is there anything to be done about this? Is there an inhaler that can be used, or a pill that can be taken? Avoiding smoke is not always a practical option, especially as I desire to travel overseas someday.
Im not interested in the moral issues or etiquette surrounding cigarette smoking. (pointless discussion anyway- Cairenes are not gonna stop chainsmoking just because Bhuz says so!)
I am just looking for some practical advice on how to minimize my own reactive symptoms, personally.
