Yeah. It was bad and is a lot better now.

And government did not have to take over whole economies or industries to do it.

I remember reading a writer from the early Spanish colonial period who described the persistent haze in the air around Los Angeles.

It wasn’t as bad as China, they at times have smog like thick fog, sometimes even purple smog. China is worse than Pittsburgh at the peak of the steel mills.

Yes. One of the lies or exaggerations.

Definitely not as bad as Peking or other cities today.

0bama is a liar, the worst of the smog in SoCA was in the fifties. By the time Governor Reagan took office it wasn’t like bambam portrays it to be.

Obama was a chain smoker back then. Maybe his inability to run had something to do with that. Or maybe he was just too stoned to run anywhere but the Pizza store.

Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye (1953):

...The weather was hot and sticky and the acid sting of the smog had crept as far west as Beverly Hills. From the top of Mulholland Drive you could see it leveled out all over the city like a ground mist. When you were in it you could taste it and smell it and it made your eyes smart. Everybody was griping about it. In Pasadena, where the stuffy millionaires holed up after Beverly Hills was spoiled for them by the movie crowd, the city fathers screamed with rage. Everything was the fault of the smog. If the canary wouldn't sing, if the milkman was late, if the Pekinese had fleas, if an old coot in a starched collar had a heart attack on the way to church, that was the smog. Where I lived it was usually clear in the early morning and nearly always at night. Once in a while a whole day would be clear, nobody quite knew why.
