Its not as much about "clean air" as much as it is a way to generate
revenue from heavily populated areas. Think about it. This is "CA, the
TAX you and then TAX you ass again" state! 
The smog laws WERE considered strict back in the day that NO other states
were doing emissions testing. Then the other states learned about how
much money CA was making and have been jumping on the bandwagon to CA's
level and then some. CA has not been the SMOG nazi state for quite a few
years now although the reputation still lingers.
