A quick fix would be to add an effect when inhaling oxygen like "oxygenated" with a relatively short duration that suppresses the effects of asthma but doesn't stop the attack.

Describe the bug
It may not be a bug as is, but still - IRL oxygen can't be used to stop asthma attack.
There's already a nice issue about asthma - https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/31343 - I just want to throw my hat into a ring.

And GINA guidelines (official guidelines, pocket version)

Say the same. The main line of therapy of severe asthma includes inhaled corticosteroids, beta-2-agonists (i.e. salbutamol), etc etc.
National recommendations

So, IRL asthma attack (so severe it will be lethal if left utreated - the type we have in the game) cannot be stopped by oxygen inhaling. Sure, oxygen can be used and IS used as a secondary or temporary solution, but no way it can stop an attack by itself. Maybe in some cases, if we consider some attacks non-lethal, but nothing more.
Steps To Reproduce

Expected behavior
Only Salbutamol or similar inhaler stops the attack. Breathing oxygen is a temporary solution with a severe debuff to stats and/or speed.
