There is a huge amount of other options to getting stress relief, however for most of us there is not a lot of options when it comes to transportation.
Cars, while fumes are harmful, are pretty much a necessity for many adults in modern society because of how our lives and our world is organised. A car has always been an absolute necessity for me in maintaining my job and errands, as in all of the countries I've lived public transport has been pretty much non-existent and the suburban sprawl means you can't really not drive unless you want to take hours and hours to do something simple like go to the shops or post a letter.
Plus, car fumes are not really a major problem if you are sitting in an enclosed indoor space where second hand smoke may be a big problem for non-smokers.
Smoking is barely a necessity in my society at least compared to cars... it is true that physiological addiction can be used as an argument but the only thing stopping smoking will do to you is probably make you live longer.
