Exclusion Criteria

* Diagnosis of vocal cord dysfunction, reactive airways dysfunction syndrome, hyperventilation and panic attacks, or other mimics of asthma.
* Current smokers or subjects with a smoking history of ≥ 10 pack years
* Former smokers with \< 10 pack years must have stopped for at least 1 year to be eligible.
