MadHabber is right. This was set in motion over twenty years ago, by a treaty signed by Reagan and this aspect was implemented by Bush.
I used to suffer from asthma, and took albuterol, so I’m there with you? that it sucks, but it’s not something Obama started. It’s ancient history, politically speaking.
Actually, it all started because of the Montreal protocol signed by Ronald Reagan in 1987, with the bill brought in and finalized by the Bush adminstration in Nov./ 2008? that inhalers with CFC’s would be? banned by Dec. 31st/2011. Obama had NOTHING to do with it.

I have Asthma and this pisses me off. The government has no right to do this.
The? government are nothing but a bunch of fucking Nazis.
@mglory24 i dont care about your comments or what? you think i care about inhalers getting banned
@mglory24 Did you even? read my comment before making this? You missed the point.
@machwon Doctors offices arent open at 3 am and I have an asthma attack and I lost my inhaler. This also puts people out of jobs.?
Are you fucking kidding me?!!! Fuck!!!!! So if I lose my inhaler and its 3 am I have to go to the fucking emergency room?!!! Fuck? that!!!! Doesnt that put more people out of jobs to?? THIS PRESIDENTS SUCKS. Im occupuying Boston tonight.
Ireland was the biggest receiver of European development money. It’s? known as a country that benefitted a lot from joining the Union.
@machwon i never backpedal in discussions.? i just break things into smaller parts so people can handle them. because wider picture is something that people struggle over to grasp.
@sidperoviz nice? backpedal.
@machwon only the title sounded like a bit exaggerated, but not his comments in the video. and they are? banning the thing because of environment, not because it is bad for people. agenda is more important than people…to them.
@sidperoviz I know why, I don’t agree with the ban. But Alex Jones is misrepresenting which is typical of him. All this? means is that people will have to pay to see a doctor and pay more for prescription inhalers that don’t have CFCs until they can make those cheap over the counter inhalers without it. Which sucks for low income households but this is NOT A BAN ON INHALERS!
@machwon u are? missing the point. they are banning the thing over environment reasons, not because they can harm people. they don’t give a s**t about people. pushing their agenda at all cost.
@zaurakdigis sure they do, but that wasnt the reason. gov is? concerned about environment not health of the citizens.
Alex Jones is such a cuntrag. He’s not banning all inhalers, just cheap ones with CFCs making patents have to go to a doctor and get expensive prescription inhalers. NOT ALL INHALERS!
It’s a terrible policy by the Obama, but it just shows you how Alex Jones reads his? news:
1. READ TITLE
2. GO CRAZY ON AIR
3.????
4. PROFIT
ban Asthma? Inhalers”
WHAT?!
@1R9S8M8
Wow an actual humble and nice guy.
The world must be coming to an? end.
@billyboy7465 no man? my bad
These CFC’s have? incidence of causing Asthma Attacks. They need to be taken out of inhalers.
They are just banning the CFCs in them. They make non-CFC versions that cost a little more.? That’s NOT a ban!
