I VISIT my doctor and he tells me that I have all sorts of complaints from my vascular, heart, lungs etc.

He advises me to give up smoking and introduces me to some scheme.

Outside, I am barred from all sorts of venues. I have to light up outside in the cold and rain.

Yet now, as I have always believed, pollution from car engines is an even greater threat than smoking.

Confined city areas are filled with such hazardous gases that cause problems to heart, lung, blood vessels and the like – far worse than smoking.

Electric transport is the future and computer driven is even better.

Let’s move forward – but a lot quicker!
