Asthma
Asthma, a chronic disease that inflames the airways and lungs, causing shortness of breath, wheezing and -- in extreme cases -- death, affects more than 5 percent of the American population. What's more, cases of asthma are increasing, increasing 74 percent since 1980, with no reduction in sight.
