The first inhalers, developed in the 19th century, were typically simple devices resembling small, handheld boxes or bellows. They often contained a mixture of medicinal powders and were designed to deliver medication through inhalation. One of the earliest examples was the "inhaler" created by Dr. John Mudge in 1778, which used a tube to direct powdered substances into the lungs. Over time, inhalers evolved into more sophisticated designs, including nebulizers and pressurized metered-dose inhalers.
