I have not heard of this until today.

I have never cleaned mine, and they work fine. I have one in my cars, home,
purse etc. I wish I knew I would have stacked up.

They may as well ban hairspray, fridges, whip cream cans, etc too.

All in the name of the global warming scam.

could you point me to the scientific proof of it not being a scam?
pretty sure they now call it climate change because the earth has stopped warming

Also, I have a question for people. Some people have said there's also a link with underground meth labs (like with the pseudoephedrine/phenalamine thing, I guess). I haven't found anything that talks about that – could someone point me to some links?

Take a look at the contents of the inhaler and do a search on meth production and you'll see the connection.

Ephedrine is by far a better base source and the inhaler has the cleanest, most pure source on the open market.

But the ephedrine inhalers aren't what this switch is about, except indirectly.

They'll still be available over-the-counter until 2011, with CFC propellant, according to what I've read. I haven't seen anything about past that date, but they might be available with HFA after that, since it's the CFCs that are banned.

The switch coming this year is in the albuterol inhalers, from CFC propellant to HFA propellant.
