I believe it's established at some point that smoking, at least, has been pretty much taken care of as a health risk. Cars, I'm not sure. I'm hampered by not having read the earlier TPB's in a while.
Nazism is, I figure, Ellis's personal views showing through. The way I remember making sense of a lot of Spider's little idiosyncracies is to figure him for an individualist almost to the point of anarchy.

Joss on his Marvel gig, in Entertainment Weekly.
Oh dear.
