I have another question.

Some say CFC, eventhough is much heavier than the atmosphere, will rise up to the upper stratosphere due to wind current or whatever that moves it up.

I heard smog is largely ozone, or a significant amount of smog consists of ozone.

Why doesn't this ozone rise up to the upper atmosphere like how CFC does, and thus replace the alleged losses of ozone up there?
