Burning wood produces particle pollution, a mixture of gases and fine particles. Smoke may smell good but is not good for you. These particles can get into your eyes and respiratory system, triggering asthma attacks. A risk for people who have copd and heart disease. Obviously, no one cares, after all, we are just a bunch of old people who are going to die anyway.
Older people VOTE and have money, so maybe people would pay attention if we had an old people's union?
