Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose cigarette smoke allergy, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "cigarette smoke allergy" as a symptom. Here are six possibilities:

Liver Congestion
Food Allergies
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity
Hepatitis
Candida / Yeast
Vasomotor Rhinitis

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

itchy skin

history of adolescent acne

red palms/fingertips

meal-related bloating

frequent runny nose

blood transfusions

vomiting for 1-3 months

hepatitis B or C

being very easily irritated

sickness caused by wine

dark areas under eyes

severe epigastric pain

... and more than 130 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of cigarette smoke allergy:

Cause	Probability	Status
Food Allergies	91%	Confirm
Hepatitis	64%	Possible
Liver Congestion	29%	Unlikely
Candida / Yeast	3%	Ruled out
Vasomotor Rhinitis	2%	Ruled out
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity	1%	Ruled out

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

If you indicate suffering allergic/other reactions, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

Does cigarette smoke cause allergy-like symptoms for you? For example, sneezing, coughing, watering/burning eyes, runny nose, congestion, breathing difficulty, headache.

Possible responses:

→ No / don't know
→ Minor symptoms after prolonged exposure
→ Moderate symptoms after prolonged exposure
→ Moderate symptoms after a short time, later severe
→ Severe reaction to even small amounts of smoke

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate either cigarette smoke sensitivity or high cigarette smoke sensitivity, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:

Allergy to Foods (Hidden)

Smoke can aggravate underlying allergies.

Hepatitis

Liver Detoxification / Support Requirement

No one really is allergic to smoke. Many people insist that they are allergic to smoke created by cigarettes or cigars, but the truth is that they have having an allergy-like reaction due to other health complications.

Nonallergic / Vasomotor Rhinitis

Given a certain amount of smoke, a person with vasomotor rhinitis will experience significantly more discomfort than someone who does not have it.

Yeast / Candida Infection
