If you have asthma, the smoking, pollution or any other “deep scent” could aggravate the asthma and make you short of breath. But asthma does not cause
chest pain, unless you are also having
chest muscle
spasm, due to the shortness of breath.
If, however, you were found to have coronary artery disease (CAD), you could be having coronary artery spasm in response to any of these scents, especially by cigarette smoke. You should ask your doctors if there is any other reason to suspect CAD.
