      Yeah. I basically breath industrial fumes here all the time when I go out. Long Live Air Purifiers. Can’t wait to move out from this Lung Cancer Tomb.

      How are people living like that daily? How do they all swim in that crazy polluted river? How are billions of them over there not getting crazy amounts of cancer?
