Is breathing in smoke from pollution the same as smoking?

Question

Please tell me

Answer 1

I think in certain cases, yes. 

 

'Air pollution kills 4,000 people a day in China, representing 17 per cent of all deaths in the country.'' 

''Breathing air in the most polluted place in China is equivalent to smoking 40 cigarettes a day according to some officials."

'the physicians feel it "is a valid comparison". 

Answer 2

No , becaus smoke from pollution  damages your system ,and from smoking it makes you look old and damages your system

Answer 3

I think so. Pollution is bad anyway.
