Ventolin is abuterol sulfate, which is not a steroid. And for everyone with asthma, just because you are asymptomatic does not mean that the airways are not mildly inflammed, with structural changes going on in the lungs that will result in very bad breathing problems later in life. Get on the steroid inhalers and stay on them.
