Are inhalers addictive ?

It is a common misconception that inhalers given for the treatment of Respiratory (Chest) diseases cause addiction and thus should be avoided.
In fact, they have been designed to avoid side effects which might result if same medications are given orally or through veins and thus have revolutionized treatment of these diseases.
If some one requires these inhalers for longer period of times, it is because of the nature and requirement of the medical condition and not because of addiction to inhalers.
