Smog seems to me to have at its worst from around the mid
1950's until perhaps the 1970's. We no longer get the sort
of smog that cause eyes to burn. I remember when the blame
was put on back yard incinerators. The first move was to
confine burning of garbage to morning hours only. Well, of
course, that didn't work. Then burning garbage was banned
altogether. That didn't work either. It took a very long
time to wake people up to the fact that most smog was caused
by automobile exhaust and industrial polution. All the
anti-smog stuff on cars that the performance types complain
about _does_ work. We still have dirty air (by some reports
the dirtiest in the US) but it is certainly not as bad as it
was forty years ago.
