I checked with the KY DOT and our MD before using it while driving and there is no comment, good or bad, about using a nebulizer while driving, the rules concern what is being vaporized. Albuteral is a very mild stimulant that opens the air ways.

There are stronger meds for nebulizers that are "contra indicated for operating machinary." One makes you feel like you've had twenty cups of high octane coffee in 5 minutes. I do not use that med after one "I'm lossing my mind!"

I will admit having to pull over and park and hack up your lungs is not a lot of fun and coughing that hard while driving would be impossible. But there is about 5 minutes warning "It's coming." The first time a cop stopped and I showed him the output, a large paper cup filled with yellow mucus, she turned away from the car and tossed her cookies.

At the local universities some genius discovered one can take 200 proof, 100% alcohol, place it in a nebulizer and get a super fast, super cheap drunk. 1 liter will make over a dozen guys blind frigging drunk.
As a result you have to have a prescription to legally buy a nebulizer in Kentucky, but then KY treats gabapentin like herion.
