I get what you're saying, but at the age of 21 i've had asthma all my life, but my last attack was when I was 2, however I still have my inhalers and only use them in the morning when I wake up and when I go to bed at night (habit) but it hasnt affected my ability to fly safely. I'd say the ruling could come down to how severe that the asthma may be.
