The concept of the inhaler, according to a press release issued by 3M Health Care on World Asthma Day, originated with 13-year-old Susie Maison in 1955. Maison, an asthmatic, asked her father George Maison, then president of Riker Laboratories (now part of the 3M conglomerate), why her medicine couldn't be delivered in a more convenient form like hairspray. Her father took this idea to Riker and initiated development of a device that would aerosolize medication.
