Anything with an "itis" at the end is an inflammation, usually caused by an infection by a microbe. Thus, bronchitis is an inflammation of the lungs, usually caused by bacteria. There is a lot of coughing and wheezing with bronchitis.
Asthma is often an allergic response that causes passages in the lungs to constrict, making it hard to breath. This causes a lot of wheezing and often a look of panic on the sufferer's face. But there is usually no coughing.

Asthma is an allergy and is triggered by something. The best non medication treatment for asthma is learning your triggers and avoiding them. Common triggers are smoke, dust, mold, mildew, plants, dust mites, pets and grass/weeds.
If you can not figure our your triggers, you may need to see an allergist and have allergy screening done. This may point out your triggers.
The National Asthma Prevention Program and the Expert Panel of Diagnosis and Management of Asthma both agree if you have to use a prescription inhaler such as albuterol more then two time per week, your asthma is NOT in control and you will need a prescription controller medication.
Controller medications are steroids (Asthmacort Asthmanex, Flovent, Pulmocort), Leukotriene modifier (Singulair, Aculade, Zyflo) or mast cell stabilizers (Cromolyn sodium, Intal, Tilade).
You may want to talk to your doctor about several strong controller medications and maybe Xolair shots.
If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.

both diseases includes a symptom wherein your bronchioles constrict. with asthma though, the constriction is caused by an allergic response that has been inhaled (allergens that the person is allergic to -- like dust, pollen, pet dander etc.) or in some cases, it's caused by something the person ate (to which he/she is allergic to) or the person touched. keep in mind though, that not all people with allergies will suffer an asthma attack... only those who have been diagnosed with it. (people with hypersensitive airways).
bronchitis is sometime caused by an infection. anything that ends in "itis" is also known as inflammation. the airways are inflammed, therefore it also constrict -- and that's why people with either bronchitis or asthma or even emphysema, the symptoms often include wheezing.

asthma is a chronic condition where the muscles around the lungs tighten and bronchitis is where you wheeze and cough up flem and have a tightness in your chest... an inhaler will treat the symptoms of asthma but not bronchitis. for either, you should see your doctor
