Question about allergies.....see details!!!?

Question:

When I was 3 yrs old, my doctor said that I was allergic to cigarette smoke. Will I ALWAYS be allergic to cigarettes??? I mean I am around people that smoke all of the time and it never bothers me. I dont ever remember it bothering me either. Would it be a bad idea to try it out and see what happens?

Answers:
Well, often allergies in childhood decrease in severity (or even go away) as one ages. Also, the reverse happens when new allergies appear. Perhaps your allergy just disappeared, or maybe your doctor misdiagnosed you.

However, I wouldn't suggest hanging around people who smoke, as there is significant scientific evidence that inhalation of smoke (even second-hand smoke) will lead to various cancers. Thus, it would be a bad idea to try it out, even if you didn't have an allergy anymore.

If you did still have an allergy, it could also cause significant negative effects.

You have probably out grown it by now if that is the case quiet often child hood allergies don't get carried over to adult hood
