Brief Summary: This study will investigate potential differences in how two puffs of salbutamol protects airway smooth muscle from contracting in people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD
Detailed Description: In asthma the administration inhalation of a selective β2 receptor agonist eg salbutamol prior to methacholine challenge has been shown to shift the dose response curve to the right and bronchoprotect the airway against airway smooth muscle contraction The extent of β2 receptor agonist bronchoprotection in COPD is unknown

Airway hyperresponsiveness AHR to direct acting agents such as histamine and methacholine is a feature of both asthma and COPD In asthma the abnormality leading to AHR is believed to be due to changes in airway smooth muscle eg hypertrophy hyperplasia contractile apparatus whereas in COPD the AHR is likely due to structural or geometric changes

The investigators hypothesize that the bronchoprotection afforded by salbutamol against methacholine challenge will be greater in asthma than in COPD due to differences in underlying airway abnormalities
