How should people get asthma on purpose (i'm asthmatic)?

Not possible....: Asthma is a disease characterized by intermittent bronchospasm and inflammation of the airways. The bronchospasm can be due to allergies, viral infections, cold air, etc. The bronchospasm can be induced in the lab in susceptible patients but you cannot get asthma "on purpose". You can get an asthma exacerbation by exposure to allergens if you have known asthma.
