It isn't necessarily better. Some people respond better to a combination of medications rather than just albuterol, which is in Ventolin.

Is it bad if you use ventolin very often and for sometime and you use it without any reason and you smoke?

The ventolin should be prescribed to you for certain conditions.It is a prescribed medication to open your breathing tubes which allows air to get to your lungs.It also breaks up mucous that may be clogging your airway.It is dispensed with the directions on the inhaler.Usually 1-2 puffs as needed not to exceed 4 times a day.My question is why would you use it if you don't need it??? If your smoking & need the ventolin you are hurting yourself. When you are 70 & smoking & you cannot breath you will have no one to thank but yourself.Sorry for the bluntness but its the truth.Don't use it unless you need it because you will be doing more harm than good. Dont take situmalants when on ventolin as this leads to CNS disturbances basically anxiety and panic attacks


Is it okay to smoke weed when hyperventilating?

Well all I can say is, that I just did them both at the same time. I have a Ventolin Inhaler because I got sick recently. It's only temporarely and well. The process I just "hypothetically" took was Step 1. Inhale Ventolin haler and hold in. Step 2. Inhale Marijuana in while still holding in the medicine from the Ventolin Inhaler. Step 3. Release breathe. I did that twice because it says only to do the Ventolin Inhaler twice so yeah. I would say the Ventolin almost worked to really bring out a full impact of the marijuana. hypothetically of course. Anyways. hopes this helps you out.
