Ever looked at the coins you have in your junk drawer at home and wondered what the deal is with the boat on our ten cent piece?

I know so little about boats but listen to me talk about them with @witchpixels!

I found myself rather dismayed at how much plastic is required to make this medical device work for me each morning. To alleviate this, I wanted to know how it worked and maybe see if I can recycle any or part of it so over the weekend I took it apart.

The device has two rollers as it permits two different doses. As you take the blue handle down towards the right, it strips a specific portion of the metallic strip that was once housed and places powder into the chamber. I then inhale from the chamber mouthpiece and it enters my lungs, allowing me to get through my day without having an attack. This also moves a dial (which started at 30) to then report how many doses are left.

Fairly basic and I can see why it is constructed like this.

For the record, this medicine is far better than my previous one. I have not had to touch my secondary inhaler in almost a month.
