After it being revealed that Sydney air quality is like smoking 40 cigarettes, local ex-smokers have flocked outdoors to take in that smokey goodness.
“I haven’t had a burner in months,” said Jake, 42, local office worker. “There’s no silver-linings to the bushfires, but this just might be one. It’s like 40 darts in one hit! I told the office I’d be working from home but I just stood outside and took it in.”
As air quality returns to normal spare a thought for Jake as he returns to the office today.
