Asthma cases are still rising. Compared to studies made twenty years ago the difference is amazing and frightening. As people, we tend to want to find someone or something to blame when things go wrong. But in the case of asthma, do we blame the governments for not doing enough to lessen its impact on society, or do we blame ourselves for not knowing enough?

Asthma is a genetic lung disease, which means that our fathers could have gotten it, as well as our grandfathers and great-grandfathers. The fact that most of them didn't makes us want to blame the government. They are the ones responsible for polluting the environment. But are they really the bad guys this time? It is true that pollution has grown by astronomical proportions over recent years and the cases of asthma have grown at the same rate, especially in the great industrialized countries. At the same time, people exercise less, have a worse diet and smoke.

Passive smoking often makes the news. Studies have shown smoking around children can significantly increase the chances of them suffering asthma and can definitely bring on an asthma attack. Everybody who smokes knows it is a bad and unhealthy habit, so blaming the governments for this seems a little absurd.

At a time when there is more information available for more people than at any other time in the history of civilization we do seem to be ignorant of a lot of things. All the information we could ever desire is just a Google click away. It is true, governments could teach the children about asthma and other related diseases, but isn't education supposed to begin in the home? But because we are busier than ever before we have less time to be with our children to educate them properly.

So maybe the answer to the question is to blame the government for not blaming us! In the past information was strictly controlled by 'the powers that be'. But that is not so much the case these days and people cannot use this as an excuse. To protect the future of our children we have to learn. We have to find as much information as possible and pass it on to them so they won't make the same mistakes we have made.
