"In 1864 Dr. Siegel invented Siegle’s steam spray inhaler that used the force of steam through a small tube to draw up the medicine and turn it into a vapour that is inhaled through a glass mouthpiece. The principle used here is similar to modern nebulizers, only now we use air instead of steam.
Siegel's invention is often considered the beginning of nebulizer therapy."

"The first nebulizer was actually produced in 1858 by a French inventor named Dr. Sales-Girons. His nebulizer was unique in that it had a pedal that acted like a bicycle pump, and when pulled up air was forced through an atomizer and a mist was created to be inhaled."
