Mumbai
Breathing Mumbai's air for a day is like smoking 2.5 cigarette packs.
Infact verdict: Mostly False (38/100).
The claim that breathing Mumbai's air for one day is equivalent to smoking 2.5 packets of cigarettes is not supported by consistent evidence. The sources provide varying estimates, with one suggesting 100 cigarettes, another 4 cigarettes, and a third not specifying a number. This inconsistency indicates a lack of consensus on the exact equivalence, making the claim unreliable.
