This is hard to say. It can be classified in a number of ways. There is intrinsic and extrinsic Asthma. Extrinsic would mean that something outside the patient triggers the asthma, like allergens or chemicals. Another way they classify it is by severity. A current goal of research is to try to find out ways to identify different subgroups that respond to different treatments.

There are, however, labels for the different ways it is triggered. There is exercise-induced asthma, chemical-induced or occupational asthma, allergic-asthma, etc.
