Ah, but there you go Willow, re. Jambutty's remarks on car fumes, these seemingly are the biggest killers of asthma sufferers.

Not really about people who already have a known disease though really is it ? More about the potential of contracting one. With lots of asthma sufferers, can also be pshycosomatic, animals, stress, etc., .. my friend's attacks are brought on by her cat whom she loves dearly, but no way will she get rid, even though it may prove fatal to her one day. So, do we get rid of those too (shut up Chav) and other triggers. Don't think a fair point.
