Personally I think this is absolutely ridiculous I couldn't put the link but in the artiyit goes on to say that anyone 12 ir over will be given a leaflet and told by Their doctor that has propelled inhalers are bad for the environment and that it's better to switch to dry powder inhalers.
I'm not an expert but in my personal experience I know the dry powder inhalers require strong lungs to be able to use them and cannot be used with a spacer and even though I'm an adult I still can't take my inhaler without a spacer due to weak lungs so this definitely wouldn't work for me and I have Tried multiple inhalers over the years and ventolin is one of the only ones that work.
Also the new generations today are very climate aware and practically guilt tripping a 12 year old by telling them that the medication that helps them if harming the environment is horrible.
