Asthma is caused most commonly by various triggers. Asthma triggers make your asthma worse. Everyone experiences different sets of asthma triggers. The best way to control your Asthma is to avoid, prevent or manage your triggers.

Make sure fireplaces and wood-burning stoves are well ventilated to avoid yours lungs being exposed to smoke. 

Pets: Keep pets with fur or feathers out of your bedroom or home, if possible. They are one of the most common examples of bad aerosols that trigger asthmatic attacks.
