My partner had suffered with asthma for nearly all of his life, but now only uses a salbutamol or ventolin inhaler to relieve a tight chest of wheezing. However he uses it about 3 or 4 times each day, and i think that he is actually just using it for the sake of it, beacause he feels his body needs it, rather than actually needing it to relieve his breathing.

Does anybody else who suffers from asthma feel that they are actually addicted to their inhalers?

any advice or info would be great!
