Holy Smokes !

[Abby]

Holy Smokes ! Its smokey out ! High risk 7/10 at the moment but in three hours will are going up to 9/10 risk . 

 

It is so smokey I can smell it in the house now. ( we have 300 plus fires burning at the moment in our neighbouring province as well getting a drift of smoke from the states . We are getting the second hand smoke . My clothes smell of smoke just after taking the dog for a two block walk . Reminds me of the smelly hair , fingers and clothes when I was a smoker . 

 

My asthma is flaring , I'm already coughing , my chest is burning , I'm getting a head ache . Smoking did that to me too but I ignored it . My inhaler is handy and I am going to have to use it ! Now! 

 

We didn't complain about inhaling smoke from forty cigs a day yet this,  and we notice how it takes our breath away and it's not good for us . We didn't care about cigarettes second hand smoke or putting others at risk . 

 

The nicotene in cigarettes we worried about but what about all that tar we didn't see as being a problem .tar , like tar they put on the roads ..  Blackened lungs , sooty windpipes . Yuk .

 

Glad I don't smoke and glad when the fires are under control and we have some air that's breathable again . 

 

Update 11.22 a.m. Air quality 8 .
