Highly likely that your grandfather or his relations smoked, though? Although there's genetics in there too for sure. There are some signs that my youngest quite possibly has the same form of asthma (mildly) that her grandma was finally diagnosed with not all that long ago (but has always had, looking back) and I think I have a small touch of it too, while there's been eczema in other family members, and hay fever in several. My point is that only the grandma has been brought up anywhere near smoke though, Youngest virtually never, if not Actually never, comes into contact with it so far.

No, none of them smoked.

Fair enough. A lot of that generation did, in their younger years or "just socially" or would have had friends around who smoked around the children etc. because people just did then. But it's genes and other factors too as we've both agreed I think.
