Smoking

[Phil Pascoe]

It was said several years ago that the cleanest air you could breath on Oxford Street was to get your mouth around the exhaust pipe of one of the top of the range Saab's.

The old 'stick a hosepipe in the exhaust' to commit suicide is practically a waste of time trying these days...

Some things I can swallow, some things I question but that statement is in a whole different dimension.

Please understand, air is not emitted from an exhaust pipe.

Ice? Mercury? Custard?

Absolute rubbish, the exhaust from diesel or petrol car will kill you.

And your proof is???
Euro 6 diesels are a far cry from 'ye old smokers' diesels of yesteryear (in fact a E6 diesel seen emmitting ANY smoke at any time is a automatic fail and if seen will be required to undergo an emissions test!!!)- and the new euro 7 spec ones (many diesels already meet the new euro 7 specs, as they are coming in in less than 8 months time (July 1 2025) and are even tougher...)

In fact, if you want to 'die peacefully in your garage'- a petrol car is your best bet- a E6 diesel emits HALF the CO of a E6 petrol car...

Now its your turn- what PROOF- not hyperbolic statements made without actual data being shown to support them- do you have to support your statement???
Actual data- numbers...

Like I mentioned before- if you want to try it, then using a petrol car is your best bet- as they are legally allowed DOUBLE the CO emissions of a diesel... (carbon monoxide/CO is what is the 'silent killer')
