Car exhaust fumes safe to breathe!
Sign spotted in one of the car parks near my local hospital.
Ok, I know its a hospital car park, but it has to be observed that this particular car park is in fact on the other side of the road from the hospital buildings.
And its a car park. You know… those places where people park their cars… you know, those smelly things that emit loads of noxious fumes from their exhaust pipes.
And car parks are places where folk tend not just to park their cars, but also rev their engines, leave the motors idling, and generally belch out even more noxious fumes.
Yet if the implications of this particular sign are followed through, then all that’s fine, providing one doesn’t smoke. Clearly, in the hospital authorities’ opinion smoking in the environment of a car park is a far greater health hazard than car exhaust fumes.
Now don’t you think this anti-smoking campaign is getting just a tad too obsessive, a mite too ridiculous?
