   Yes, stop blaming air quality for everything that happens   
   to people healthwise. Trying to do so is you, once again,   
   not doing the obvious: not factoring in  what people   
   actually do, lifestyle-wise, that affects them ultimately   
   in how long they live and what kind of health they enjoy.   
      
   Do you honestly think it's an accident that I have the   
   kind of health that you can only dream of having although   
   we grew up within 10-15 miles of each other? It's not   
   just my genes(which, of course, help) but it's the lifestyle   
   decisions that I made when I was young that are paying off   
   for me now. Decisions I made when I was a teenager and   
   in my 20s.   
      
   Look, everytime I see a young person smoking I want to yank   
   the cigarette out of their hand! I mean what excuse do   
   they have for smoking NOW? It's stupid. You'd want to   
   blame the air on the cancer or heart disease, etc they   
   will likely have in 20/30 years. I'd blame the obvious:   
   their DUMB decision to use tobacco when they never, ever   
   needed to.
