Yes. People who have Asthma or Allergies may already have inflamed and irritated lungs. If so, and if their bodies are already fighting one irritant or illness, it is more difficult for them to fight off a virus. Smokers are also more likely to have irritated lungs and are more likely to catch a cold or the flu. The symptoms for those with allergies will likely be worse. It can also more easily lead to pneumonia.

∙ 12y agono, with a weakend immune system they are more likely to become sick.
*edit: I don't know the answer to this question but I do know that having an autoimmune disease does not necessarily mean that you have a weakend [sic] immune system. In fact, autoimmune disorders are classified as a type of hypersensitivity, i.e. to some kind of self antigen.

Are you more likely to get colds in a cold country?
Not really. Cold weather does not cause the viral infections we call the common cold. Only exposure to the virus germ that causes colds will give you the cold, not temperature changes. The only link between being in a cold country and catching colds is likely that you are indoors and more crowded to stay warm in cold countries, and that makes the chances higher that you will catch the virus from someone else in the room who has caught a cold.
