    Perhaps people have confused asthma drugs like clenbuterol with the drugs in inhalers? Or perhaps some inhalers/asthma medications contain stimulants or other drugs that have effects beyond dilation while others do not? Are all inhalers the same? Clenbuterol is almost impossible to get in the USA. Dilators can't effect lungs that are normal. There is nothing in the drug that will help other period. Really think that it is jealousy of nonasthmatics who think we asthmatics get something special. Overall I have had many people tell me that it isn't fair that i get to take drugs for my lungs/. I always tell them that I don't think it is fair that they don't get to be rushed to an Er and almost die 2 to 3 times a year and spend tons of money on some of the most expensive drugs. Oddly it is only swimmers who say anything to me. Runners don't, rowers don't, soccer players don't.
