there is a scene in the movie Black hawk Down when a Ranger at the base sucks on his inhaler... what's up with that?

If you read the book, it tells you how he got around it. I think it's something like he (Keni Thomas) lied about having asthma, and at basic when he had the chance to give it up in the amnesty room (anything like drugs, pornos, knives, or medication is considered illegal and is contraband.) he did give it up and went without it. During a run, he collapsed and was taken to medical. somehow, I think, he found a loophole in the system ( there are a lot, if you can believe it) and got back into it and no one ever got wise. I think this is what happened, been a while since I read the book. anyone know better, clarify it better.
