Please sign my petition re some asthma inhalers being banned

For those of you in the US, there is already an equivalent petition for US residents.

Thanks in advance.

signed

I and Caitie use inhalers almost daily....

Signed. I use inhalers almost daily too. I really don't understand the justification for this removal. Figures. Not a drinker but might as well be since alcohol will be in my system anyway

I haven't had time to research it further, but my suspicion is that it was added to the treaty

1. In place of something else that the US didn't want to sign for

2. So drug companies can force people to buy new, more expensive drugs

Re 2, for those of us covered by the NHS, the new inhalers don't cost any more than the old ones, but the cost of the new inhalers seems to be a problem in the US where not everyone has health insurance.
