The importance of the Alabama study is that it acts as a reminder to members of the medical profession the importance of asthma education. It is my job as an educator to inform the asthmatic -- which include my patients and you -- to avoid your asthma triggers, which include cigarette smoke.
If your child has asthma, and you are smoking in front of him, chances are you're making his asthma worse. So, here's my lecture to you: Be a responsible parent and don't smoke in front of your asthmatic child, or any kid for that matter.
If you have asthma and are gutsy enough to smoke yourself, my lecture to scare you into quitting will come soon. So stay tuned.
