Asthma Information and Policy

Asthma is a disease that makes breathing difficult. It affects millions of Americans both young and old. While there is no cure for asthma, it can be treated and managed. Athletes with asthma are required to give their coach a back up inhaler if they use one so that we can be prepared in case of an asthma attack.
