In the same way as any other trigger. However, there is a widely held theory that it is not so much the trigger which causes most attacks but the stress arising from the PERCEPTION that any exposure to that trigger will cause an attack. In other words, it's psychological. Tobacco Control have created the PERCEPTION that tobacco smoke is more dangerous than cyanide. One whiff and it's an instant Asthma attack, or even worse a heart attack! Smoking prevalence has fallen significantly over the last few decades yet the incidence of asthma has rocketed. Work that one out!

Do cigarettes cause lung infections?

Cigarettes can cause more than lung infections. They can cause cancer, and even death. Cigarette smoke is just as bad as smoke from a fire, and with cigarettes, you are inhaling that smoke. The smoke from the cigarette can also cause cells to die, which is not good at all.
