Smokers, people who live in polluted areas, and older people will run out of breath. Apparently, this is called COPD.
In Toronto, whenever the temperature was over 26 Celcius, the Air Quality Advisory warning would usually say that it is hazardous to be biking or doing any strenous exercising. So, a ebike (or electric scooter) was very healthy -- with no pedalling. Some kind of very tiny particles 2.5 nanometers or smaller could obstruct the lung and cause choking.
The VW diesel cars, with their cheating software now exposed, have probably killed thousands of people. For decades, medical boards have estimated that 30,000+ Americans and 5,000 Canadians die every year from diesel fumes, if I recall correctly.
On my electric 'cycles and electric vehicle, the city's gasoline/diesel fumes seem to assault my sense of smell when I get near them. So, I try to take the isolated designated bike streets.
People in Richmond, BC on average live 3 years longer than people in Toronto. Richmond has sea breezes whereas Toronto is in a "bowl" terrain, which is very visibly a soup of pollution when viewed from the air, or even from the down-looking highway from Barrie, Ontario.
Many years ago, China wisely banned gasoline motorbikes.
However, the rest of the world is secretly run by the oil companies -- if you've read "Confessions Of An Economic Hitman" and the second book by that same author.
A good book to read is "Lives Per Gallon", written by a policy-maker in the California government.
According to Dr. Mercola, two other cures for COPD are: Exercising (in non-polluted area, obviously) more and antioxidants.
