    The consultant said he thought Beijing's air pollution would be similar to that of Hong Kong when he first arrived in the capital, but he was always coughing after suffering from mild pneumonia last year. "Sometimes I end up taking aspirin to cure a headache after waking up," he said.

    A Beijing-based American blogger working for a mainland newspaper said: "I have had more respiratory problems living in Beijing in 21/2 years than I had in my entire life in the US."

    NYC is nowhere near BJ or SH, in terms of air pollution. All hail michael bloomberg.

    I'm putting off holidaying in china till the air, water, food issues are cleared up.

    "Pollution is a growing issue, especially in Beijing. According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, Beijingers joke that they can open their windows and get a free smoke!" PM Lee.
