I Smoke", breathing the air in my neighbourhood is equivalent to smoking up to two cigarettes a day. His Facebook posts last week were full of PR campaigns and launches but there was no mention of air pollution in Bangkok let alone the associated health risks.

Public transport is technically beyond the governor's authority but that should not stop him from working with other agencies to tackle air pollution.
