Inhalers that provide fast-acting treatment for people with certain respiratory conditions are contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, which can worsen both climate change and the conditions themselves, according to new research.
In the study, published Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers found inhalers approved for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, generated an estimated 24.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions in the United States from 2014 to 2024. This is equivalent to the emissions of about 530,000 gas-powered cars each year, according to the study.
"Scaled across tens of millions of inhalers dispensed annually, these emissions drive global warming, exacerbating the very respiratory conditions inhalers are meant to relieve," authors of a supplemental editorial note wrote of the findings.
Twenty-eight million Americans have asthma and 34 million have chronic lung disease, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. These cases are expected to grow as climate change makes air pollution worse, increasing the risk and severity of symptoms.
Researchers found metered-dose inhalers — the boot-shaped treatment modality many picture — were the most harmful to the environment, accounting for 98% of emissions over the decadelong period.

Stop inhaling. Problem solved.
that tells me that cars are remarkably clean burning and these envirowhacko’s need to leave us alone now.
So, about 70 million Americans have some form of chronic lung disease? Where do they get these numbers? That’s around 1/5 of the population. Jeeez, even worse than cow farts? Omg.
Yep, we can now inhale our cars exhaust.
How dare you!
First, they came for the asthmatics...
A primer for globalist to start encouraging the euthanasia of anyone with a respiratory illness.
Yes, they want to murder people, depopulation is the goal.
Mark this post well.
Libturd media be like: “Your asthma is killing the planet.”
File under “leftist fear porn,” suitable for small minds, public education victims.
Never mind the volcanoes spewing more carbon into our atmosphere in a year than humanity has in the past 10,000.
That’s okay.
Mama Nature makes them look like pikers.
Just asked AI about Kilauea. This is what I got...
“Kīlauea’s annual sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emissions vary significantly, but during sustained eruptions like the 1983–2018 period, daily emissions ranged from 500 to 10,000 metric tons, which is over 1.8 to 36.5 million metric tons annually. During its 2018 eruption, emissions surged to over 100,000 metric tons daily, totaling over 10 megatonnes (10 million metric tons) in just the May-August period.”
We’re all gonna die.
Not the first time they pulled this crap with inhalers, if the Gaia worshippers really cared about mother Earth they would all just stop breathing.
And on CO2 from Kilauea, per AI...
“Kilauea’s annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions vary significantly, with a 2012 study estimating summit emissions at around 9,000 metric tons per day, totaling roughly 3.3 million metric tons annually. More generally, typical emission rates have ranged from 8,000 to over 20,000 metric tons of CO2 per day, depending on the eruption cycle and volcanic activity.”
Who needs inhalers!
BTW, Skydance. You still have a CBS problem, don’t you?
As soon as the climate change cult decided CO2 was a poison, instead of 1 full half of the respiration cycle ,,,
,,I joked,
” they will out law exhaling, breathing “
( All the better to evolve into transhuman mechanical entities )
Well,, as one who had 70 % of my lung capacity eliminated by c19,,I’m not laughing anymore.
My inhaler, my nebulizer albeturol medication , all lead to increased oxygen absorption, thus increased exhalation,
I, and all breathers in fact, need to be ,,,er eliminated,,
Man must die to save mankind ?
Or just gia ?
It’s no longer a joke.
Color me dumber than a pet rock but not sure how plant food being CO2 is 0.4 of 1% is going to burn us up in real time when we need it to live. /s
Antifa is causing Global Warming.
BS
“Achtung! Achtung! These are your orders: Anyone found guilty of consuming more than their allotted amount of air will be slaughtered and cremated! Only one cubic foot of air is allowed…”When Bowie recorded this, it was supposed to be satire. (Same with Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs.)

LOL! IDIOTS!
This is why you never give in to any of these “activists.” They are never satisfied. Ban car emissions? Time to go after inhalers. Ban guns? Time for knife control. Ban eggs? Time to bring eggs back to ban them again.
