It wasn't legally attributed to the smog.
That's the landmark moment.

smog WAS man made and killed thousands , the sad death of this Young girl is very bad but so were the deaths of thousands during the years that SMOG was on going

Yes, but it was never the "official" cause of death.
"Respiratory failure" was probably written on the death certificate.
That's the point.

According to Wilki Great Smog of London 1952 in 5 days it killed 4000 people according to Govt estimates according to Modern Estimates it was somewhere between 10 to 12,000
What they put on the Death Certificate would be irrelevant SMOG was a man made phenomenon and it killed people stone bleeding dead

No. This is the whole point.
It's as significant at the first time smoking was put on a death certificate as the cause.
It sets a legal precedent.
