You might want to experiment dampening the cotton balls, but not outright wet. this should help with soot but not the chemical odor. | |

Hope there is something in one of these sites that is helpful to you. Even tho' I quit smoking almost 2 years ago, my asthma yet gives me gaggin' days. Where I live, the smoggy air gets trapped in a valley and is nasty in the summer. My usual inhaler seems inefficient lately so I am going to try one I used to use a few years ago. I also find that exercise and watching what I eat have helped. There is a liquid herbal product called Strauss EZ Breathe. I have never tried it. Maybe someone reading who has tried or knows more about it could comment about the product. Praying for rain in Santa Barbara!!!
