Answer 1

Go see a doctor you could have  asthma. OR lung cancer. Seriously.

Answer 2

you might have asthma.

go to the doctor before it gets worse

Answer 3

You should go and see a doctor. Asthma is a possibility and yes so is lung cancer.

Second hand smoke is more dangerous then smoke inhaled by the smoker.  

Answer 4

You don't have lung cancer (how absurd) and you don't have asthma, since that's a genetic disorder, and not something you get from smoking like people try to convince themselves of. What it is, I think you convinced yourself that you're allergic to smoke, so people around you will stop. Many non smokers do this. They like being catered to. Looks like you fell in their trap.  

Answer 5

No it is not normal. You could have built up an allergic reaction to smoke. See your doctor.
