Poll: Car Exhaust vs Cigarette Smoke

Friday, 11. September 2009, 09:44:22

, , ,

The question is (if I had more space):

You have to choose between being in a hermetically closed room with either a heavy smoker or a running car, which would you choose?

If you choose...

• 'heavy smokers' : you might get cancer if you repeat this often

• 'running car' : you are dead after 15 min depending on the size of the room.

Motor car exhaust may have contained up to 25% carbon monoxide. However, catalytic converters found on all modern automobiles eliminate over 99% of carbon monoxide produced. As a further complication, the amount of unburned gasoline in emissions can make exhaust unbearable to breathe well before losing consciousness.

Suicide methods:Carbon monoxide poisoning - Wikipedia

At one time it was the fashion in Japan, people would put a tube from the exhaust pipe in to the car and hermetically close the windows with sellotape. Newspapers claimed these people often met online though notices like "I don't have the courage to kill myself alone. Who want's to die with me?"


Conclusion:

Cigarettes and cars both seem to pollute[a] and kill!

Choose an old car for exhaust suicides.
