Cool people don't need medicine

Have you ever noticed that in TV and movies, all the nerds always have asthma puffers? OK, fine, people are jerks and do actually ridicule others for stupid reasons. But the real kicker is this: in the movies, when the nerd is the protagonist, and at some point in the story they somehow become cool, all of a sudden they don't need their puffer anymore. Wow, becoming cool cures asthma!!
