Well, not really, but it sounds kinda fun to blame him for something like that. For all of you that have asthma out there I’m pretty sure you know what albuterol is. It’s a drug that’s used in many fast-action inhalers. Many of the inhalers people use contain CFCs to propel the medicine into their lungs. Since CFCs are being banned in other places, why not inhalers? This doesn’t seem like a big deal, right?
The alternative seems to be marginal at best; at least from what I’m reading. They clog up easily, taste funny, don’t produce the same results and can cost up to four times as much.
The deadline for pulling all CFC inhalers off the shelves is supposed to be December of 2008. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
