This is the sort of thing that puts a large quantity of people off from an issue- stating huge aggregate 'savings' numbers using wildly tangential elements.

It sure would be interesting to see how the ALA quantified / vetted 'lost workdays' as a component of "public health costs" since 1. there are a myriad of reasons behind 'lost workdays' and 2. the vast vast majority of those events are paid for by employers, not public health funds.  Because it smells like 'number pumping' from here. 

Just be straightforward and honest.

 Still funny to me to read even here. I do agree with how they quantify their numbers, but I have to assume it is based on statistic of current deaths, asthma and lost days that someone associated to something Green, or Black, or some color that hurt them.
