People with asthma or chronic bronchitis often develop asthmatic bronchitis. Patients who suffer from asthma develop asthmatic bronchitis when their previous respiratory condition becomes severe and persistent, causing permanent obstruction of the respiratory tract. People with asthmatic bronchitis also have the symptoms of chronic bronchitis and previous treatments for asthma are no longer effective in clearing the airways clogged with mucus.

Caffeine addiction is the same as any other addiction. This is because caffeine is a powerful drug and giving it up successfully requires dedication, planning and organisation. Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, cola, chocolate as well as common medications for headaches and menstrual cramps. One of the most common reasons people have caffeine is for an energy boost.
