<s>[INST] My husband smokes and I was just told that our son has asthma. What should I do? [/INST] Your son's asthma is a serious problem, and needs to be taken seriously by the whole family. Cigarette smoke is very irritating to the lungs of a child with asthma, and may even cause permanent damage. Is your husband ready to quit? That's the best way to keep your son healthy. If your husband does not, then you need to ask him to go outside every time he smokes. It’s best if he wears a “smoking jacket” (a jacket or shirt worn over regular clothes) while does so, then take it off before coming in the home.Make sure your home is always a smoke-free place so your son can breathe easily. Also, make sure your husband never smokes in the car. If it's hard for you to talk with your husband about this, ask your doctor or asthma educator to help you. Source: AIM.
