none smokers who moan at smokers should not drive cars.if they do then they are hypocrites?

Question

when you drive down the street in your little cars the fumes from your car are a lot more dangerous to poeple and childrens then from second hand smoke.just think about it a child in a pushchair on the street you drive past what do you think that poor child is getting down her lungs a heavy dose of carbon dioxide if you still dont belive me lock yourself in a garage leave your car running see how long you last before you keel over.

Answer 1

I know exactly where you are coming from and i have the exact same thoughts, to all you thick and blind people out there who didn't understand the question then think about it like this...
I you were to lock yourself into an airtight room with 50 people smoking around you all night you would come out in the morning feeling a bit dizzy and maybe have a slight cough.Now lock yourself in an airtight room with 1 car exhaust pipe coming in and you'd be dead in less than 30 minutes.
Get it now or was that not clear enough for you?

Answer 2

Interesting point. All cars these days, pump out toxic carcinogenic fumes (such as cyclo-alkenes) that are polluting and damaging the entire planet and are inhaled by everyone whether at home, on the street or in the pub. And their effects are inescapable unlike smoking, when you can just leave the vicinity. And car fumes are far more damaging to human health AND the environment of the entire planet that supports us all.

So I agree, it is hypocritical for non smokers who are drivers to moan about it. But non-smokers who don't own cars are not hypocritical, and therefore entitled to complain about both.

Also on the other hand, that doesn't mean steps shouldn't be taken to combat both forms of pollution and risk to human health - smoking AND car pollution.

Answer 3

You obviously are relating smoking, to exhaust fumes on a car.
If a non smoker drives a car then that person is causing pollution just like a smoker. To then moan about smokers causing pollution is hypocritical. I get your point but the real answer to pollution lies in the hands of all of us. We are all guilty of pollution.
Even some of our clothes cause pollution in their manufacture.
I should get the ten points for being the only person to really understand your point.

Answer 4

Perhaps car driving will be their next target - they can only dictate one thing at a time. I think they'll start by trying to abolish recreational driving such as going on holiday or a day out then they'll move on to stopping you from going to the shops. Since most of them are middle income 4x4 owners, they'll continue to allow taking young Tarquin to school in the car.

Must say there's a lot of people answering this question without their brains switched on. Perhaps they've been inhaling too many exhaust fumes.

Answer 5

I don't think you really understand what you are talking about here. Car exhaust fumes in the air do not contain nicotine and tar and do not cause mass scale cancer as cigarettes do. Smoking cigarettes around a non-smoker can also give them lung disease and as a non-smoker who already suffers with bad lungs i find it a very selfish habit

Answer 6

You sir, are an idiot.
You really believe there is a correlation between passive smoking and the exhaust fumes from a car into the OPEN air?
By that logic, it's my fault that certain people get asthma as I'm using electricity which has come from coal-burning power plants which pollute the atmosphere.

Answer 7

I totally agree, all these idiots having a go at you need a slap.

The guy is making a valid point, people don't mind getting killed by smokers but when you add something they do into the equation they just humpfh it off and try and shift the blame.

This is very typical of the arrogant society we live in unfortunately.

Answer 8

good question
and to a certain extent i agree
but the non smokers are moaning about us smokers blowing our smoke in there direction in an enclosed space
we all know their is carbon monoxide in car fumes which travals upwards above our heads as hot air does

Answer 9

How can they be hypocrites as they are moaning about smoking, not driving. Maybe you would be happy with heroin users wandering around and dropping needles all over the place, if not then by your rules, that would make YOU a hypocrite!

Answer 10

I think maybe you have had a little too much hassle?

Thats like saying smokers shouldn't moan if they have cancer or other problems. We all have the right to an opinon/moan as long as it is just that.
