  'It's like crushing an ant when there's a pack of wolves around - then claiming you have saved people from harm,' said Brian Urbaszewski, of the American Lung Association's Chicago chapter.
  
  Far more pollution is created by power plants, which pump some 15,000 tons of particles into the air annually, he said.
  
  Even so, Urbaszewski doesn't lament the disappearance of the chocolate smell because any high concentration of airborne particles, whether from cocoa dust or coal, can irritate respiratory illnesses.
  
  'A lot of people may get a warm fuzzy feeling from this chocolate smell,' he said. 'Some people may get the same warm fuzzy feeling from smelling tobacco - but that doesn't mean it's good for you.'

  “Last month, USEPA declared that two thirds of all Illinois residents are living in areas that fail to meet minimal health standards for fine particulate soot,” said Brian Urbaszewski of the American Lung Association of Chicago.
  
  “This air pollution is causing widespread human suffering at a tremendous cost to our communities,” Urbaszewski added, “The soot and smog pollution from Peabody’s proposed dirty coal plant will impact every Illinois community from Carbondale to Chicago and from Danville to Moline.
