Very Sad Some People Do Not Take Asthma Seriously

I just read the good article here about how many people do not take asthma seriously. I believe that is very true. I have found that it may go even further than that. One person I know does not take it seriously and gets very frustrated, even angry at me, because I can't breathe when he wants to use his meat smoker for hours on end and burn his huge tree stump/limbs woodpile near where I live. I am very perplexed by his anger. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced being on the end of anger/hostility from others who do not take this seriously and may even blame the asthmatic?
