Ran across this paper on the effects of caffeine on asthma recently: Caffeine for asthma (review)
TLDR version: Caffeine can give relief for asthma, boosting peak flow rate by somewhere between 5 and 18 percent, depending on the study. Significant and noticeable but not generally useful medically. However, taking it prior to any lung function tests can muck up the results.
OK, enjoy. Might want to first brew a fresh pot before diving in to read.
Bonus/PS: Theophylline (an asthma drug) and caffeine. Spot the difference.
