I get this after I spend a few days at my parents' house and go back to Paris, and they live only 50 km away.

I feel this quite strongly since I get around by motorcycle, so I don't have the benefit of filters and whatnot that cars have.

Whenever I do this, I keep wondering what the lungs of people commuting every day look like, since I get a dry cough even when traffic isn't all that dense.

Are there no helmets with integrated filters? Perhaps something like the Stormtrooper’s helmets? If not, wonder if someone should come up with those..
