every year from the dreadful london smogs. since then london and many other cities have become smokeless zones, areas where no coal fires are allowed. but now the increase in traffic is threatening serious air pollution in our cities again. however, the commonest air pollution comes from the cigarette smoke which pollutes many public places, like cinemas, pubs and restaurants. though cigarette
