Is this ocd?

Hi,

Basically, i hate smoking and i have astma. so of course those 2 things don't go together very well.
It's got to the point where if i'm in town with mates and someone starts smoking i have to move a few meters away from them and make ensure the smoke isn't coming in my direction so i don't breathe it in because i get really anxious and really scared that if i do, it will trigger an astma attack and kill me.
Also if i'm gunna go over someone's house i have to ask if anyone in the house smokes and if they do, i won't go in.

btw i do suffer from a mild form of ocd and have done most of my life but i'm not sure if this is ocd or if i'm just going abit over the top with my health and avoiding smokers.

So yeah, is this ocd or am i just going abit over the top with it all?

Thanks

no thats not ocd. you are just being very very cautious. and its not a big deal that you are doing that, i do understand that it is difficult, but if you know the consequences i dont think that it hurts to be cautious.
