I suffer from chronic asthma. I used to hide it from the public when I was a kid, but now I realize that's not such a bad thing if you have trouble breathing. Inhalers, both preventive and emergency, are still used by me. I'd like to carry a rescue inhaler with me wherever I go, and I don't believe it's a horrible idea. It's the same as wearing glasses or contact lenses. I only use rescue inhalers in an emergency and Preventive inhalers on a daily basis.
