Everything fun is bad for you

Yes, everything:
'New car smell' is caused by volatile organic compounds that can cause headaches, sore throat, nausea and possibly cancer, according to studies.

The smell comes from the plastic, glue and carpeting in cars. When those materials are new, they're unstable and give off gases, including benzene and formaldehyde, two known carcinogens.
No word on artificial (or is it?) "new car smell" air freshener.

tnx to The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns
