It is only due to another question regarding smoking that I ask this. The simple fact is more people are affected by pollution from cars than are affected by second smoke. Why do more people whine about passive smoking while they drive around in their polluting machines, increasing lung disease, destroying the environment and knocking people down and killing them and themselves.
No we have heard the whingers say that smoking costs the NHS millions... maybe. But they never look at the money that smokers bring into the NHS. Cigarette tax makes up a huge portion of the cost of cigarettes and pays a large amout of NHS costs.
I don't like breathing car exhaust fumes every day and the rise in Asthma has been linked to the replacement of lead in petrol with the lung irritant Benzine. We need to put a more sever tax on cars to cover the damage they do to our health and the treatment needed by those who suffer from lung problem caused by car.
