Exactly. Even smoking doesn't shorten life expectancy by that much (it's 10 years).

Smoking is voluntary, partly self-adjusting (willingly or not you'll reduce smoking as you get worse), composition is regulated and that habit only starts at a later stage in life.

None of that applies to PM2.5 kind of pollution.
