It's not psychosomatic, her lung capacity is at 80% all the time, never having "attacks". She doesn't need an inhaler for attacks, but she needs to inhale cortisone to keep her life from being an up-hill battle.
"Nervous asthma" is not (at) all asthma.

Now, I will also say that while I am not asthmatic at all, I told a guy four inches taller, and twenty pounds heavier than me, that if he wants to smoke, he can do it OUTSIDE THE FRIGGIN BUS SHELTER, and I'll have no problem with it. He could not understand what I said until I repeated it, staring up into his face from 4 inches away.

Consideration and tolerance are ENTIRELY codependent, and the ultimate fact is, smoking is a choice, and making choices which cause discomfort to others is a dick move, where it can be avoided.
