A member asked:

Which is worse for you exposure to cigarette smoke or exposure to auto exaust?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Toxic level: Cigarette smoking puts the toxins directly into your lungs and your body in a concentrated form. Auto exhaust is diluted by the time you might inhale it. Would you bend down, and directly inhale the exhaust from your car? Then consider what you are doing when you smoke - and stop altogether.
