not more likely to get cancer but will be a CHRONIC asthmatic at a very young age i have asthma i quit my chest is soooo much better now
yes
the asthmatic lung is less able to clean itself- so the tars (the cancerogenic parts of the smoke) stay longer and do greater damage.
another likely side-effect is chronic obstructive lung disease
Yes!!
Probably, that and emphysema...think that is how it's spelt=]

after my years of smoking,and my daughter nagging,i gave up 6 years ago,my daughter who is asthmatic took up smoking when she turned 20,2 years ago.she now wonders why her asthma attacks are really bad again.an asthmatics lungs are weakened already without putting more pressure on them
depends on whether the asthma is treated and controlled. If the asthma is well controlled so that airway remodeling and scarring has not/is not occuring then a smoker with asthma has no higher risk. If the person has airway remodeling or scarring then their risk (whether they smoke or not) is increased for both COPD and lung cancer.
yes
