For a normal healthy person a 1:2 or 1:1.5 Inspiratory to Expiratory ratio is expected. Person's with obstructive pulmonary disease processes (COPD, active Asthma reaction) may have a prolonged exhalation 1:3, 1:4 etc. Pulmonary Fibrosis (stiff lung) and damage to certain nueral receptors can cause prolonged inspiration. I/E ratios are manipulated with intubated ventilated patients to achieve a variety of outcomes.

The normal value for FEV1/FVC ratio with normal breathing is approximately 70-80%. This ratio is used to assess the obstruction of airflow in conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
normal breathing is nice and easy while breathing during an asthma attack is difficult and doesnt allow you to fully use your airways.
