MODERATORS
Imo the deaths caused by the fumes should have more weight in these sorts of discussions than how we perceive the fumes.
Oh you're 1000% right in my opinion. But that's not what the example I pointed out shows.
Their research found a perceived difference tobacco vs car fumes. That's a subjective experience, and so smokers are the ones more close by and incidental. They're going to seem worse to people.
But the researcher is pulling the conclusion that people are brainwashed. I can think of half a dozen variables influencing his findings.
Hence, take it with a jar of salt
