Not actually sure an inhaler style delivery would be much different from a vape. Inhalers come with their own risks (thrush, off the top of my head) and still send particles into your lungs. You’d basically be trading steam for whatever aerosol accelerant the inhalers use… which might be worse.
With things like pot or tobacco, a lot of the damage that happens is from the smoke itself, not some pharmaceutical action of the drug. Vapes are thought to be a step down (presumably at least - they’re still new enough that we have no idea what the long term effects look like) but still harmful. You’d get similar damage from spending too much time down wind from a campfire, or having a humidifier blowing at you constantly.
So, back to edibles… is ‘not the same’ a deal breaker, or is the effect not even comparable, or desirable? I’ve never tried either, so, shooting in the dark here.
Frequency may also be a factor - how often do you smoke? Maybe you could go back and forth between smoking and edibles to give your lungs more of a break between sessions.
Also stay hydrated - that’ll help the secretions in your airway stay less vicious, same line if thinking as the mucolytic.
Not really, thrush is a specifically corticosteroid related risk if I remember correctly, and even then, it seems super rare. Ive taken tons of CSs without hydration or rinsing out my mouth and im legit sure iv never had thrush. Thats purely related to CSs even so, I believe
Could have sworn it was a side effect for inhaled mucolytics too, so quick check on acetylcysteine, and it’s got ‘white sores/patches’ listed, but I guess it’s unrelated to candida.
In any case, all drugs and routes of administration will have side effects. I’d go for a different route over a different fume if damage mitigation is the goal.
