Make it more explicity that we are fighting climate change #301

Right now, the cigarettes metaphor seems to raise awareness that air pollution impacts really badly each one's health. However, the link to fighting climate change, while present, is in my opinion a bit too implicit.

This app falls right into the goal 13.3 of UN's 17 SDG goals:

Build Knowledge and Capacity to Meet Climate Change

Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning.

We should probably advertize this more.

Do we have access to air quality data from the past? Perhaps one way to show that there's a link between your health now and climate change is to show how the 'number of cigarettes' has changed over the past years. Maybe something like 'this day in past years would have been X cigarettes' or a graph visualisation
