People with asthma and other lung conditions should take extra care at The Twelfth celebrations this weekend to avoid life threatening asthma attacks and flare-ups, according to a leading respiratory charity.
Every year, huge bonfires are lit in areas across Northern Ireland on the Eleventh Night to usher in the main date in the parading calendar - the Twelfth of July.
But around 186,000 people in Northern Ireland with lung conditions such as asthma or COPD could find smoke from bonfires triggers their symptoms, say Asthma + Lung UK Northern Ireland.
