I have a severely asthmatic niece; I wonder what she is doing for an inhaler these days.

They still have inhalers for some of the medications, but they don't aerosolize the ingredients as effectively as the CFCs. One of the most effective of the new medications was Serevent; two puffs of this a day and I was absolutely asthma free. Then Glaxo decided that "to save the ozone layer" they would take the aerosol off the market and replace it with a dry powder that you literally have to suck into your lungs. It does have some beneficial effect, but nowhere near that of the aerosol. So, at least in my case, my asthma went from being effectively cured, to being dependent on anti-inflammatory drugs and "rescue" inhalers.

Does anyone know who suggested to Obama not to implement the new clean air rules?

Rick Perry did, it's the Rick Perry factor.           Obahngo and his stooges can see Rick Perry is going to kill them on over regulation and the economy killing EPA. So Obongu is doing a head fake to the right which he would not be doing if Rick Perry were not running. Muddle head Oboingu even muttered a bit a paring back regulations. Not that he means it but it sounds good

Oh don’t worry I have a LOOOONNNNG list.
In fact it would probably make up a full alphabet.
