to ask about passive smoking?

[blackberrypicking]

Is it actually dangerous to be exposed, in a car, with windows down, for say approx 1 hour a week?

I know the smell is unpleasant but would this be likely to cause any damage to someone?

I have no idea...however I am a child of the eighties whose parents chain smoked in the car with windows up. I'm OK I think

I can't imagine it does you any good, but actual harm - not sure.

Bloody revolting though, windows down or not.

It isn't a nice habit, I agree.

I sometimes have to be in a car with people who smoke and it's gross but I just don't have the guts to say don't do it! But I was wondering if I should steel myself if it's going to make me die a premature death!

Yes.

Did you ever go to a pub/bar/club before the smoking ban? That added up to hours in a smoky environment...I love the smoking ban!

Yes but not much to be honest.

I was only 25 when the smoking ban kicked in and was never one for spending hours and hours in the pub anyway although it probably did amount to a fair bit added up! Hard to say isn't it!

Are you talking about kids? On one hand, they're breathing your smoke. Might not be tonnes, but wouldn't you question it if, later in life, they got lung cancer? It's certainly possible. Is it really worth it? For the sake of 1hour a week? Just wait till later.

Forgot about the other hand. What example does it set if people really can't hang on during a ten minute drive?

Oil I don't smoke! As if I'd light up in front of DCs anyway! It's me I am worried about not them ha ha. (In the nicest possible way you understand!)

'Oi' not oil
