Student Makes Silly Contraption For Clean Air in China!

[garyoak99]

Dorm life can suck! Especially if your roommates smoke and you don’t. One college student in Nanning City, China constructed a breathing contraption to combat secondhand smoke.





As pointed out on GameOver and Shanghai Daily, the student shares a dorm room with several smokers.



So, he bought a fan to blow in clean air from outside the room, funneling the air through plastic bags which is attached to his cardboard box “helmet.”



According to Shanghai Daily, the student said he couldn’t use the apparatus in cold weather, because he’d then have freezing air blowing on his face.

It might look stupid but if it works to some degree, it's got to be better for him, especially given the amount of pollution in China. Although that might be the problem in itself, the pollution from outside might just actually be worse than second hand smoke.
