But this could literally kill you! [/quote]

Not today. Probably not tomorrow. [/quote]

So are you a smoker? You don't mind breathing in asbestos? You don't mind if your children die of cancer down the line? How odd. I care. I don't want my kids to get those small particulates in their lungs simply for being outside. I'd rather they have a long, healthy life than a short one with a painful death. That's just me.[/quote]

You know people usually have to smoke for 40+ years before they get the cancer. A few days of smoky air isn't going to give your kids cancer. [/quote]

Tomorrow is supposed to be Code Red. That means normal, healthy people should not spend time outside if they can help or exercise outside if they can help it. Why would they recommend that if it were fine?[/quote]

Take steps to limit your exposure. For example:

Spend more time indoors, where particle pollution levels are usually lower.
Consider moving outdoor and physical activities indoors or rescheduling them.
Choose easier outdoor activities (like walking instead of running) so you don’t breathe as hard and keep those outdoor activities short.

Nothing about staying indoors.[/quote]
