That depends on what criteria you are applying. There are very few applications where an aerosol is actually necessary, so my opinion is that there's no point judging one against another. Hair sprays, for instance, are available as pump action sprays, so why use aerosols at all? Most aerosols these days do not contain CFC's but they are still very lacking in green credentials. If we are to conserve resources we need to recycle. One of the big difficulties with recycling is separating the constituents if different materials are mixed together, and in an aerosol can the materials are stuck together. So in a world where we are in danger of running out of things, to my mind aerosols are a stupid extravagance.

Is gas laws why is it a bad idea to throw a can of aerosol hair spray into the fire?

Throwing a can of aerosol hairspray into a fire is dangerous because the pressure inside the can increases as it heats up, potentially causing it to explode. This is not directly related to gas laws, but rather the rapid increase in pressure from the expanding gas inside the can. Additionally, aerosol cans contain flammable propellants that can ignite and create a fireball when exposed to flames.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been largely phased out due to their harmful effects on the ozone layer. Products that typically do not contain CFCs include modern aerosol sprays (like many deodorants and hair sprays), refrigerants such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), certain types of foam insulation, non-aerosol cleaning products, and water-based paints. Additionally, many electronic and automotive products, as well as some household cleaners, are now formulated without CFCs. Always check product labels for specific ingredient information.
