Why is aspirin a NO-NO

I just heard today that aspirin is not good for asthmatics. Why is this?

For many asthmatics, taking aspirin has no or little effect on the their condition, however for a minority, it can cause severe attacks. The advice to avoid aspirin is often a precautionary mesure...

In asthmatic persons sensitive to aspirin, aspirin causes the body to produce excess amounts of the class of chemicals known as leukotrienes. Leukotrienes cause the muscles surrounding the bronchial tubes to contract, resulting in wheezing and shortness of breath.

Hope this helps!
