Question

I'm a bit puzzled about something and could use your advice. I've heard that Ayurvedic or organic cigarettes are supposed to be safe, but they still contain smoke. Is there really a difference health-wise, or should I be just as cautious with them as regular cigarettes?

I've been dealing with allergy and asthma for about 15 years now. It started with just the allergy and then asthma came along. I've been using the Budamate 200 inhaler. I'm curious if there are other treatments or lifestyle changes I should consider to manage it better. Any advice?

Question

I've been having this really intense pain on the upper right side of my chest when I wake up in the morning, and it's got me a bit worried. I'm not sure if it's my lung or something else, but it's bad enough that I can't really move until later in the day when it seems to get a bit better. Could this be something serious or just how I'm sleeping? Any advice on what I can do to stop it from happening?
