In Vox, I noted that smoking a cigarette similar to driving a giant SUV or pickup: Both endanger anyone who happens to be nearby.

The narrative power of secondhand smoke galvanized the anti-tobacco movement of the 1980s. It could do the same with car bloat today.

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?

The same policy arguments that turned the public against smoking cigarettes could help to combat “car bloat” as pedestrian deaths climb.
