Hi Lesley,
The reason for using a spacer is to give the user time to inhale the medicine correctly. Although the HFA inhalers may not be propelled as forcerfully as the old CFC versions, a spacer can still be useful, especially for children or anyone else who has trouble initiating correct technique of the inhaler. So, I would say it's up to you whether to use a spacer or not.
To your health,
Kathi
