You might also try to insure yourself against flues of any kind. Because of my asthma I always got flue shots before winter (my worst time of year). The drier & colder it got the worst my condition (also the hardest time for me to sing). I started out at 25 with exercised induced asthma & after a couple bouts with bronchitis developed chronic asthma. Of course I smoked up until 5 yrs ago (I know...DUH). Since I've never had to use another inhaler. Barry
