✦ Synopsis

committed to our conclusion that this woman died from an acute asthma attack secondary to secondhand smoke. Dr. Miller did not cite a reference for a previous report in the medical literature of an acute asthma death from secondhand smoke nor were we able to identify any such previous reports. Therefore, we see no reason to retract our statement that this is the first reported acute asthma death from secondhand tobacco smoke.
