Based on what my doctor told me, the smoke enhances the allergens that effect people. Specifically the dust, molds and pollens. The smoke makes the effect twice as bad as it were before.
Another thing the doctor told me is that if a person has asthma on top of the allergies, which most do, then they are already having a tough enough time breathing normally, add on the allergies which keeps their noses stuffed up and mucus draining into their stomach/lungs, then put smoke in their lungs... bad scenario.
