Funny, Online Asthma Awareness Campaign: www.AsthmaSucks.net

Humorous videos to identify possible asthma triggers and help raise the profile of asthma across California and the country.

A series of four online videos, this campaign identifies various asthma triggers both inside and outside of the home. It also pays homage to the old trick of teaching
children and adults what it’s like to experience an asthma attack by having
them breathing through a straw. 

By raising the profile of asthma within the general community, advocates from all public health agencies and asthma organizations benefit.
