I know they have taken albuterol inhalers off the market.

" I hope it does to DJ master. I have two more albuterol inhalers left then not sure what I am going to do. My asthma has changed over the years and is now where I cannot get air in my lungs (it is like it stops at my throat). Albuterol is pushed into them to help. Wish they would have taken hair spray, spray paint off the market instead. You have a good day "

" I don't find the new inhalers to be "horrible", but they do not work as well as the old ones. And you can thank Ted Kennedy, he spearheaded the campaign to remove the old ones from the market. Oh, and while you are at it, Thank Al Gore and the global warming crowd. "
