I was going to suggest the same. I've just renewed mine - worked out just over £90 for the year. Having said that, of course it covers you for everything in the year, not just inhalers.
The surgery are probably following NHS guidelines to monitor asthma sufferes. Yeah, its a pain as it seems to be all nicely under control, but some sort of regular health check could also catch other problems early - which is no bad thing. Weight thing is annoying, but sadly there are health issues associated with weight. I tend to ignore my weight now, but I've managed to lose a lot. Occassionally venturing near the scales helps remind me to curb my enthusiasm for 'nice things' every so often - but that is a personal choice. Of course, the manner in which 'helpful advice' is issued by any medical staff is key here, so if they are actually being pleasant and vaguely supportive I'd grit my teeth and try and see it as a positive, annoying as it may be.
