    Then you know wrong, they were studied thoroughly for inhalation too, and were approved and used in kindergartens to prevent respiratory diseases. They are still used in asthma inhalers, and in stage fog machines in rooms crammed with people.
    None of the branches that use these compounds very heavily have had problems, and they are still used.

    The fact that you are so heavily upvoted just shows that people here are extremely ignorant about the issue, but still feel their ignorant opinion has value.

      albuterol inhalers use saline solution as a carrier.

      Each milliliter of albuterol sulfate inhalation solution 0.083% contains 0.83 mg of albuterol (as 1 mg of albuterol sulfate) in an isotonic, sterile, aqueous solution containing sodium chloride; sulfuric acid is used to adjust the pH to between 3 and 5. Albuterol sulfate inhalation solution 0.083% contains no sulfiting agents or preservatives.

        albuterol inhalers use saline solution as a carrier.

        That sounds weird, that is in principle just salt water, and a vapor that is way harder to control. But just because an alternative exist, doesn’t mean other options are bad.
