Question

When the idiots at the US EPA passed a law to eliminate Freon as a propellant in hair spray and other pressurized products because it would "supposedly" deplete the Ozone layer they replaced it with butane or propane, which is highly flammable. This can turn a common can of hair spray into a flamethrower once the product is expelled and ignited.
