Well, I guess we had better cancel our normally scheduled August forest
fires.

That kind of smoke make people sick, too.

Fire fighters wear breathing equipment because that smoke isn't good to
breathe, either. People die from smoke inhalation, and they also have
similar physical responses to forest fire smoke that people have from
secondhand cigarette smoke.

OK fine, why aren't you campaigning to ban wood stoves, fire places
and back yard charcoal grills?
A neighbor can burn 40 pounds of wood in an evening with impunity but
if he is burning a gram of tobacco and you smell it, you go ballistic.
I doubt there is s suburb in America where you don't smell a whiff of
wood smoke in the winter or the smell of grilling meat in the summer.
By your definition, if you can smell it, you are being harmed.
When a bagel gets sideways in the toaster, do you evacuate the house
and stay in a hotel until the place is decontaminated?
