This report challenges policy-makers and political leaders to tackle fossil fuel production and consumption as a health control issue, in the same way that smoking has been reduced and regulated. Fossil fuel combustion is a major source ... toxic air pollution that kills 7 million people every year, almost the same as the number of deaths caused by tobacco smoking.

These case studies show that the connection with health is a strong argument to support sustainable change.
