Inhalers are allowed. They were not at first, but CNN reported todat that a woman at Heathrow airport had hers taken and then she had an asthma attack at the gate. The paramedics had to come, the flight got delayed...yadda yadda. So due to this almost death caused by the continuing stupidity of TSA (which also restricts jeely donuts (not glazed) and bagels With Cream Cheese (not plain) they now allow inhalers.
