Have you ever worked in a mechanic shop to actually smell tire and brake dust? Hell, even if I wasn't a smoker, my lungs are already probably fucked.
And you're not considering, where does all that tire dust actually go? Every time it rains, it gets washed off the roads, off into drainage canals and the environment in general. It doesn't just disappear.
You have those same things with ICE cars. If you're truly worried about the issue, let's just ban private car ownership and invest in free public transport for everyone.
I'd be game to go back to simple bicycles and horses to be perfectly honest. Sure, transportation would take longer and have different complications, but it would be much more environmentally friendly.
Also being late would be normalized again so less stress overall.
