My mother has pretty bad asthma also, so I can relate. I've actually been in public with here twice when we had to call 911 because she had such a severe attack. Once was because she got a faceful of cigar smoke from a guy walking in front her. The other was because she caught a wiff of some rosemary that was garnishing a leg of lamb she ordered in restaurant. Ban rosemary? I've also seen her have asthma attacks when someone wearing a lot of cologne walks by. Ban cologne? The point is that a lot of things are "hazards". Banning everything doesn't solve any problems.
