Every asthma sufferer depends upon a rescue inhaler for survival. Without it one either needs to make a trip to the emergency room for treatment or suffer a slow, painful, choking inability to breathe which can result in death. As of 12/31/08 all rescue inhalers which contain CFC's as propellants were banned from use and they have been replaced with inhalers which use a different propellant (HFA). Unfortunately for asthmatics, no-one seemed to care if the newly reformulated rescue inhalers worked as well as the banned medicines. Now that the ban is in effect it has been discovered that for some, the new inhalers are not as effective as the previous inhalers and for others, the new inhalers do not work at all. Finally, because of the change, there are no generic rescue inhalers at this time, so all asthmatics are forced to pay considerably more for medicine that may or may not work. I am a lifelong asthma sufferer and like many others, the new HFA inhalers work poorly at best and sometimes they are not effective at all. I am also paying 50% more for each inhaler ($40 now as opposed to $20) So my questions are;

Do you feel that this suffering is OK since it may help the planet in some intangible way? Remember these are extremely small inhalers with tiny amounts of CFC's.

Why should people with incurable diseases be forced to suffer and pay more to support your cause?

Why didn't you consider these impacts when this ban was forced upon us?

You can Wiki albuterol to read more about the ban and the complaints many asthma sufferers like myself have.
 
Yes they have done the same thing with DDT. They should be required to post a bond for there stupidity.
 
30,000 scientist across the world have sign a document that global warming is not cause by man. But the liberal media won't touch it.
the tree hugging crowd have a money making agenda and will never let it go. If some people have to suffer, so what, it's the lease you can do for the cause.
