Question:

Salaam, I suffer from asthma.  Is it permissible for me to use my Ventoline inhaler?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In principle, the use of oral medication will invalidate the fast.  Thus, if you use your inhaler whilst fasting, your fast will break.[1] 
If you suffer from an asthma attack whilst fasting and no other option is available except the use of your inhaler, you may make use of your inhaler and make up for your fast afterwards.  You will only have to do qadhā’; kaffārah will not be required.   

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

[1]  أنه من أدخل بصنعه دخانا حلقه بأي صورة كان الإدخال فسد صومه سواء كان دخان عنبرا أو عودا أو غيرهما حتى من تبخر ببخور فآواه إلى نفسه واشتم دخانه ذاكرا لصومه أفطر لإمكان التحرز عن إدخال المفطر جوفه ودماغه وهذا مما يغفل عنه كثير من الناس فلينبه (حاشية الطحطاوي على مراقي الفلاح شرح نور الإيضاح ص 660 دار الكتب)

(وَإِنْ دَخَلَ فِي حَلْقِهِ غُبَارٌ أَوْ دُخَانٌ أَوْ ذُبَابٌ) وَهُوَ ذَاكِرٌ لِصَوْمِهِ (لَا يُفْطِرُ) وَالْقِيَاسُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ لِوُصُولِ الْمُفْطِرِ إلَى جَوْفِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَا يُتَغَذَّى بِهِ وَجْهُ الِاسْتِحْسَانِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الِامْتِنَاعِ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ إذَا أَطْبَقَ الْفَمَ لَا يُسْتَطَاعُ الِاحْتِرَازُ عَنْ الدُّخُولِ مِنْ الْأَنْفِ فَصَارَ كَبَلَلٍ تَبَقَّى فِي فِيهِ بَعْدَ الْمَضْمَضَةِ وَعَلَى هَذَا لَوْ أَدْخَلَ حَلْقَهُ فَسَدَ صَوْمُهُ حَتَّى إنَّ مَنْ تَبَخَّرَ بِبَخُورٍ فَاسْتَشَمَّ دُخَانَهُ فَأَدْخَلَهُ حَلْقَهُ ذَاكِرًا لِصَوْمِهِ أَفْطَرَ؛ لِأَنَّهُمْ فَرَّقُوا بَيْنَ الدُّخُولِ وَالْإِدْخَالِ فِي مَوَاضِعَ عَدِيدَةٍ؛ لِأَنَّ الْإِدْخَالَ عَمَلُهُ وَالتَّحَرُّزُ مُمْكِنٌ  (مجمع الأنهر ج 1  ص 245 دار إحياء التراث العربي)
