Yeah, 2 cycles suck bigtime! I've read that 2-cycle motors are banned in
certain areas in California - makes sense to me, they have twice the
exhaust
stoke of 4-cycle so there is definitely an air pollution issue here.

Your conclusion is correct, but the reasons are wrong. The number of strokes
does not determine how much pollution is emitted. Displacement, quantity of
fuel, content of oil are more important.
