Caregiver smoking was strongly associated with child exposure and also was associated with lower socio-economic status.

Smoking affects response to inhaled corticosteroids or leukotriene receptor antagonists in asthma. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2007; 175:783-790. This double-blind placebo-controlled (DBPC) trial shows that in patients with mild asthma who smoke, the response to inhaled corticosteroids is attenuated. The greater improvement was found in some outcomes in smokers treated with montelukast.
