Yes it could be a reason, I did a paper about smoking for school!.

Smoking can give me lung disease, heart problems, bad breath, yellow teeth & fingernails, and many other health risks!.
You should tell his parents right away that he's smoking!.
And encourage him to stop!. No one likes smokers!

It also gives A LOT of wrinkles, and he can even make you have health risks, because if you're around him when he smokes, you can develop secondhand smoke! It can kill you!.

Tell him that he can make other people around him develop health problems!. It might make him stop!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, Smoking can cause asthma!.

If we smoke or have secondary effect of smoking (stay close to who smokes) for long time can cause cancer of many organs- lung cancer is notorious due to smoking!.

Pancreatic cancer, bladder, esophageal cancer and more can be due to smoking!.

Other effects of smoking are bronchitis, emphysema etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Smoking a couple a week, leads to smoking a couple a day which leads to addiction to nicotine!. Your friend has asthma and he smokes!? The condition can be aggravated by smoking if the person has weak lungs to start!. Better he take up chewing gum which will make his jaw stronger!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's probably not what caused the asthma, if he does have it, but it would for sure aggravate it!. The main bad thing that smoking a couple cigarettes a week will do to him is cause him to soon be addicted!. I read that cigarettes are more addicting than heroin, so it's really not safe to even smoke once or twice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you are planning on stopping after a few you will not be able to!. That is the age at which most smokers start!. If you were 12 years ago and never smoked habitually then it is like being near a smoky fire or visiting Los Angeles or Houston A few is not very dangerous IF YOU DO NOT STAR SMOKING regularlyWww@Answer-Health@Com

Your friend may not see any effects from smoking right now, but in the long haul, Smoking causes cancer!. It says so on the box!. That is enough for me to now want to do it!. Yes, smoke could have induced his asthma!. I would just let him know that smoking is not cool!. Remind him how bad his breath will be when he starts kissing girls!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Wow!.!.!.that is really sad!. He will get addicted and it will ruin his health!. His asthma is most likely from the cigarettes!. I am 12 and i couldn't imagine me or anyone my age smoking!. Do something before he ruins his whole life!. Its time to be responsible and do something that can change someones life!. I don't even see why anyone would smoke ever! It is nasty and not good for you!. You HAVE to do something about this!.
Stop it before it goes too far!Www@Answer-Health@Com
