How many people get asthma from smoking?

While smoking is not a direct cause of asthma, it can significantly worsen asthma symptoms and increase the risk of developing respiratory issues.

The exact number of people who develop asthma specifically due to smoking is difficult to determine, as asthma is influenced by various factors, including genetics and environmental exposures.
