Acetic acid is categorized as a potentially caustic substance. So too is propionic acid. A hazard or irritant to eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Please do not consider inhaling it. A comparison would be bleach- a good disinfectant, but not something to put into your lungs.
Have you considered using hypertonic saline instead? You can search here to learn about it.

Good idea about the Hypertonic Saline. I have been using Albuterol in my nebulizer & thinking of asking my DR about adding this solution (including the three meds weekly I'm on). Also have found a little relief when I get these MAC ATTACKS found in Benzonatate generic for Tessalon Perle which for some reason seems to give my almost always congested lungs a nice break. I'm open to any other ideas that can help with my long-suffering way of life. So appreciated!
