What do you call your inhaler?

Hi,

I'm doing some research into the usage of inhalers and I would like to
compile a list of all the names that asthmatics (particularly children
and teenagers)might use when referring to their inhaler. The only
examples I can think of are Puffer, Doofer and Haler but I'm sure
there must be loads more.

I live in the UK so I'm interested in names that would be used here
but if anybody from overseas wants to contribute feel free provided
that you state where you live.

I'd be grateful if you would email your suggestions to
liam_weston@hotmail.com.

Thanks,

Liam

My daughter always called it a "man-haler" presumably because with my
Scottish accent thats what "my inhaler" sounded like to her.

I'm in Australia. When I was a child (in the 70s) my mother called it
"the squirter". My kids call them "choofers" - bit bizarre because
slang in these parts for smoking pot is "having a choof".

Why would you call it anything other than your inhaler??  I haven't gotten the
point of this whole thread.

The entire point is that the pinheads need to make noise, inane though it may
be, to know they exist... be ever thankful that it didn't entail the pinhead's
usual verbose bloviating verbiage.

I love my "f.cking inhaler"?
