Ya know what is the worst??
Here the environment is against asthmatics. We have sand and pollen and dust and bushfire smoke (I swear I can smell a bushfire 50 kms away up wind!). And the smell of our water here in Perth smells of a 10% solution of chlorine ... my genetics are against me and let's not start about the amount of fly-sprays and insect deterrents that start a coughing fit! A small amount of tobacco smoke is nothing. In an enclosed space is another matter though. And that bloody cat from across the road insists that my front yard under my bedroom window is the only place for it's latrine. Dogs? forget it.
