AFAIK there has never been research done delineating this question, and certainly not longitudinal population level data of the kind that would reflect the ongoing situation in Australia, but again, happy to be corrected and directed to the appropriate place
I guess it's more the comparison to smoking. AFAIK, that's based on levels of PM2.5 and/or PM10 particles - are they high enough to match smoking all the time, for extended periods of time?

I don't so much care about what he has said ref smoking comparison, and take your point there. I do absolutely have a problem with him asserting that bushfire smoke has short term effects only cf other kinds of pollution. It's not correct

I feel like that's an attitude based on past experiences - if the fires only last a few weeks/month, it's probably true. But these have been going on for months already, and could last for months more
