[edit] Technology

This article needs a section on the technology. How exactly does it work? I came here because we have a compressor-driven home nebulizer. It's a very interesting-looking device. I'm curious how it does what it does.--Srleffler 02:56, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alcohol

Though it's not the intended use of a nebulizer, perhaps this article would benefit from a section covering the use of the device in drinking culture. It's fairly common to put liquor in a nebulizer and inhale it in order to get drunk without putting the liquid into your stomach. A section on the benefits, risks, etc. should probably be written. --Lord Galen 14:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

That probably should not be added unless there are citations to support it.--Srleffler (talk) 23:25, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Side-effects

A brief explanation of its side-effects should be included, as the article mentions how inhalers are preferred because they carry less side-effects than nebulisers. Well what are the side effects etc? londonsista | ^Prod 19:08, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
