Put 10 people in a garage and let them smoke for 5 hours and they will all walk out alive. Put the same 5 people in a garage with a car with its engine running and they will come out dead.

So when does it stop? Are we going to ban cars now? Sorry, this is turning into such a nanny state.
By the way, do you own a car? Does your partner? How would you get about without it? Especially with public transport being a bit of a nightmare?

er... I don't follow your logic.
The new smoking laws in England refer to smoking indors not outside in open space. We're not dealing with car fumes indoors are we? You're free to smoke ouside along with the car fumes if you want.
Tell you what, you carry on not smoking inside public places and I wont stick my hose from my car exhaust in there for you to get a good lung full of that too.

I think it would be a good idea in highly populated area's such as city centre's to have to use clean fuel, IE LPG or Cooking oils it is very environmentally friendly as well. The government has recently raised taxes on the use of cooking oil which is typically stupid when you consider the amount of money it take to clean it out of the drains.

Wear hygiene mask.
Or you can just stop breathing (for a few seconds). I do that all the time when a car of something pass by me when I'm waiting for the bus.
And, they shouldn't ban cars like they banned smoking in some premises, they should just make it work with biodiesel. (:

Cars are necessary to get about...smoking isn't. Modern cars are MUCH less polluting than older (70s/80s cars).In some polluted cities the air coming out of a modern engine is actually cleaner than the air going in (catalytic converters do a good job). It's buses and badly serviced vans that are the worst.
(By the way it's breathe, not breath.)

Makes good sense - especially when you consider kids buggies at just at the right height to inhale exhaust fumes.

I don't have an answer but, I'm with you on this one. It is amazing how car owners can justify their needs whilst criticising other's needs.
