Asthmatics are Killing the Planet!

Really CNN and SJWs? It has come down to this? But I guess picking on those who suffer from asthma is safer and easier than talking about China's carbon footprint, amiright?

How long before "they" are advocating for euthanasia of sick people that have a larger "carbon footprint" than normal, ecologically responsible vegans?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

First straws and now asthma inhalers.  I, too, dislike people who suck.

That's it.  Close the internet . . . . . you've won it all.

Something tells me the "greener" alternatives have some negative factors which is why people are not already using them.  

Quote
Alternative "greener" treatments, such as dry powder inhalers and aqueous mist inhalers, are available, experts said in the study published in BMJ Open.
But the higher up-front price of some dry powder inhalers was a "significant barrier" when moving to such alternatives.
I wonder if the adsorption rate for dry powder is the same.

And here we thought it was just kids with Downs Syndrome that were going to be weeded out in utero.
