Asthma is a chronic (life-long) disease that inflames and narrows airways in the lungs, making it hard to breathe. It’s normal for airways to get inflamed and narrow when exposed to smoke, pollution and other irritants. However, children and youth with asthma are sensitive to things that shouldn’t irritate the lungs, like pollen or even the common cold.
