One of the things that have resulted to me having asthma is smog. I have always been a traveler by nature, and traveling from the small suburb where I live to the big city everyday to attend school has finally taken its toll on me.
My lifestyle became more expensive, for I cannot ride non-air conditioned public transportation. I am stuck with trains, cabs and air-conditioned buses, for in the Philippines where I studied, I am an hour to two hours away from the place where I was studying that time. I have to pass by a long stretch of interstate and then go by the metropolis. I mean four different cities before I get to my school.
Then there is also the issue of the people who I hang out with. I always end up with smokers, especially when I was still studying. Taking up Communication Arts as one of my degrees, we were, back then, always pressured by deadlines and demanding professors not to mention the list of requirements that are due on the same day given on the same date that even sleeping is an effort to squeeze in to our already very, very busy schedules.
Asthma is a hard illness to have. Whenever I have an attack, I always have hard time breathing and I can't sleep. I have a lot of food and drinks that I am allergic to like chicken because it makes breathing harder for me, beef because it is fibrous and it clogs my air passages, and other fibrous stuff. The sad thing is, these fibrous foods helps me lose weight, so I am torn between eating healthy food and avoiding them to further make my condition worse.
When I got to LA, I heard that DMV registration in Los Angeles has become strict and so does car plate registration. At first I really don't care, for I don't know how to drive and I have no plans of learning, but when I found out that there is also a smog check in Los Angeles, I was really happy. They are strict with regards to vehicle registration. Los Angeles is a beautiful city, but we must admit that they also have a pollution problem just like the other big metropolitan cities of the world.
I used to not care about Los Angeles car registration, but then it dawned on me that they helped me in my battle against asthma attacks. I said asthma attacks because asthma cannot be cured. Once you have asthma, you will always have it, and all that you can do is prevent the attacks.
This article is for awareness on the effect of smog and pollution to us asthma patients. Having one is really hard for sometimes, there are really attacks that would make us pray for that god end the torture. Our chests heave air and still, breathing is squeezing us dry. Now that you are aware, kindly spread the news. You are not just helping us, but you are also helping Mother Nature.
