Q: Petition that affects pregnant women with asthma

Please sign one of these petitions (there is one for US residents and one for UK residents) re the banning of certain types of asthma inhalers. The only alternative inhalers available contain alcohol, meaning that pregnant women with asthma, or women with asthma who are trying to become pregnant, would have to take medicine containing alcohol every day, as would children with asthma.
