Question

I'm dealing with asthma and recently had an asthma attack. I'm using my inhaler twice a day now, but I'm experiencing chest pain, a heavy feeling in my chest, and some breathing issues after using it. Could you give me some advice or suggest any medication that could help with these symptoms?

Question

I'm trying to cut down on smoking and I've heard that vaping and e-cigarettes might be a better option since they don't have tar.
