And yes I agree! Barbecue smoke shouldn’t be shared either!
Some genius on my building’s executive committee has suggested removing barbecue smoke from the list of toxic fumes – such as cigarette, cigar and tobacco smoke – forbidden on balconies and common property.
Sooner or later someone is going to lift the Aussie blinkers and ask if, given its volume and the number of carcinogens in it, barbecue smoke going from a balcony into someone’s home isn’t more dangerous than the occasional cigarette.
Of course, it’s un-Australian to suggest anything of the kind. However, this web page from the American National Cancer Institute makes sobering reading ,as does THIS, THIS and THIS.
