You just blew my mind.
Thanks for saying what was in my head but what I couldn't say in words.

LOL. I'm glad I share this same idea with others. I just had the chance to post it first. :)

"Transportation is the largest single source of air pollution in the United States."

"Motor vehicles (including non-road vehicles) account for 75% of carbon monoxide emissions nationwide."

I doubt cigarettes even come close to that.

I'm thinking it would take a lot of cigerette smoke to even equal the polution from diesel truck I don't smoke, but would feel saver sucking on tobacco than an exault pipe.

Haist! It is so sad why smokers can't see all those negative effects smoking gives them. I really hate smokers, really do, its not just pollution, further it causes disturbance.

there are some articles saying that cigarettes are worst than diesel exhaust.Air pollution is so full of other things, as others have noted, so cigarette pollution is not such a pollutant, except in enclosed places. But cigarettes will lead to a polluted body, cancers of all sorts.

I agree because second smoke causes pollution and sickness.
