You know, I'll betcha it's them dang libruls again! (This ship always lists to the right, doesn't it?) ;->
The coming ban on inhalers containing CFCs applies to over-the-counter medications; CFCs themselves are no longer manufactured in the U.S. - patients are advised to talk to their doctors to arrange prescription medications for replacements. (BTW, U.S. production of CFCs in commercial quantities was halted in 2000, so we must be finally running out?)
This is a side effect of the banning of CFC production in the U.S., which definitely had much to do with the ozone layer.. another unintended side effect, unless of course you assume our evil EPA has singled out asthmatic citizens with intent to harm them.
Frankly, I don't have a clue as to how we can stop the meth horror, when it can be cooked up in a plastic pop bottle in a motel room. Banning access to the ingredients doesn't seem to be very effective, and if they were all gone, the stuff is being made up en masse nowadays in Mexico and a half dozen other countries.
I know intentions are good, but remember that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
