Is it ok for regular people to use an inhaler, just once-in-a-while? What about those ones you buy in the drugstore over-the-counter? I guess if you can buy it OTC it can't be that dangerous.

Doctors have been useless for advice. They just say to avoid smoke, or tell people to smoke outside. It's just not possible to avoid it sometimes.

I have exactly the same response, but it's getting triggered by when people just have smoke lingering on their clothes. I have an albuterin inhaler that I use when it happens. It's been fine, but the issue is using a steroid, which has it's own side effects (such as swelling, etc)
