Whatever. My point is why is tobacco smoking banned and not the much
worse emissions from cars? Cars don't even carry a health warning
despite the estimated 25,000 per year in the UK who die from air
pollution.
Also:
http://www.earth-policy.org/Updates/Update17.htm
" The World Health Organization reports that 3 million people now die
each year from the effects of air pollution. This is three times the 1
million who die each year in automobile accidents. A study published
in The Lancet in 2000 concluded that air pollution in France, Austria,
and Switzerland is responsible for more than 40,000 deaths annually in
those three countries. About half of these deaths can be traced to air
pollution from vehicle emissions."
