Smoking can make your asthma worse, depending on the severity. Obviously isn't giving you any problems, so why bother asking?

Yes, it will make it worse. The damage to your lungs is progressive, so even if you don't feel any damage right now, it's there, and will keep getting worse.

yes it will, though it may not be noticeable now you are slowly coating your lungs with tar. More specifically I believe you will be blocking the bronchi's of your lungs, which is where oxygen exchange takes place within the lungs.

The effect of smoking in having asthma is not at an instant. But as soon as the lungs gets weaker because of the toxic, that will be the time when an after effect takes place.

I think, just as a sentient being, you already know the answer to that question. Please, don't try to rationalize your smoking. It can only make it worse and you will be "kicking" yourself for having done it.

Although most will say smoking is bad and shouldn't be done under any circumstances sometimes it really can be helpful with asthma. Menthol is great when having an attack and will help stop it.
