How do you deal with the air quality outside?

Wonder how many smokers are wearing masks when inhaling much worse on a daily basis? How many terrible dieters are wearing masks when preventable heart disease, #1 killer, doesn't faze them in the least. Many more things gonna kill many more people here than the smog....like driving. 

 

Wear a mask... 

I don't wonder these things at all. Smokers, bad eaters, those with heart disease- they are the people affected the most by smog and it stands to reason they should be concerned about the comulative effects of their daily habits in concert with the environmental hazards they choose to live with.

 

I eat mostly vegetarian, don't drink or smoke, and own a couple N-95 masks.

I also left the dream of living in Chiang Mai for the southern islands...

I just stay indoors as much as possible.

 

Thai government and economists will be happy to know with all the visa extension bs and this air pollution that will NEVER go away I won't be buying a condo in Bangkok. Absolutely resigned and resolved.

I've stopped smoking on the balcony....her indoors complains about the cigarette smell but as I told her....you can't be too careful in this smog filled city!

Perhaps best approach would be "You can hide but you can't run"

I have stopped running outside so even staying out of the smog is affecting my health.

 

Has anyone seen people wearing masks whilst running in the parks?

 

i presume those not wearing masks are mainly smokers, cannot see why they would bother ( not talking about joggers here )

Ya my guess is smokers enjoy the smog, given their aversion to clean air.

I just have to live with it. I wear mask if it seems really bad but getting my 3 year old to wear his is difficult. Other than moving away, which is not a realistic option for me, it's just one of the downsides of living here.
