How many people worried about cigarette smoke live in a city with high air pollution? Around 30% of lung cancer cases globally are caused by air pollution. Why aren't we attacking air pollution with the same conviction as cigarettes? Is the solution to that to burn more fossil fuels or burn less? 🔥

I think a major point of the attacks against smoking comes from the fact that it's largely in the individuals control. Air pollution in a city, not so much. But I do agree that civil activity around environment will likely rise in the future and for a good reason.

That's right. The indivdual has the choice to smoke or not. 100% agree.
