Asthma is a chronic disease of the passageways that carry air to the lungs. These "airways" become narrow and the linings become swollen, irritated and inflamed. In children with asthma, they may be especially sensitive to many irritants, such as viral infections, cigarette and other smoke, cold air, and particles or chemicals in the air.

But you're still in such pain that your lifestyle has dramatically changed.
Asthma - Learn What Is Asthma and It's Treatment
By :
ashu
Asthma (Az-muh) is a chronic disease that affects your airways. The airways are the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways are inflamed (swollen). The inflammation (IN-fla-MAY-shun) makes the airways very sensitive, and they tend to react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find irritating. When the airways react, they get narrower, and less air flows through to your lung tissue.
The Asthma Diet
By :

Asthmatic children of smokers have been shown to have more frequent attacks.
Asthma Attacks and Air Temperature
By :
ashu
Patients should also consider air temperature. Cold air is extremely irritating in patients with bronchial asthma and may produce severe attacks. Individuals with asthma appear to warm cold air less quickly and efficiently than nonasthmatics. This warming takes place in the large air passages of the nose, sinuses, throat, and windpipe.
