Tobbaco smoking does not have any practical uses for us, it's just a bad habit. On the other hand, being able to drive a car is a huge benefit for our quality of life, so we accept that it comes with some cost.
- elevaet 4y agoDriving cars can be seen as a bad habit too. We could cut down on emissions a lot (in N. America anyways) if we committed to better public transport, cycling etc. There are some parallels between the tobacco and auto/petro industry. Many north american cities had excellent tram systems, but they were torn out/abandoned for car roads under pressure from industry lobbyists in the 50-70s. Some cities retained their tram lines (Portland, Toronto) from that era, but many did not (Chicago, Vancouver).
