There are 5.2 million people with asthma in the UK alone. This means that one in five households has a person with asthma. On 6 March, Asthma UK launches its first ever television advertising campaign that will run for a week across the UK. The campaign aims to raise awareness of the seriousness of asthma and Asthma UK’s commitment to preventing needless deaths by helping people increase their understanding and reduce the effect of asthma on their lives.
