An inhaler is a small device, usually plastic, that holds medicine as a spray or powder. You put it in your mouth, press or breathe in, and the medicine goes straight to the lungs. People with asthma or other breathing trouble often carry one; a puff can open the airways in seconds. It is everyday English in clinics and families — “Where is my inhaler?” — not a rare textbook word.
