It was our first home—a brand new house we’d worked hard for, full of smoke every day.
The smoke comes into my house even with the windows and doors closed.
…The heavy dense smell of wood smoke pervades everything. I used to love this smell but now I struggle to breathe…
I have asthma and allergies… the smoke lingers around my house encasing it.
The neighbor’s smoke is everywhere…I can smell the smoke as I’m writing this…
…my then 12-year old daughter who is asthmatic couldn’t breathe and her inhaler made no difference…
These wood burning stoves… are not just a nuisance but a danger…
…my right to breathe fresh air is trumped by those who want to burn anything they can…
…The worst period of exposure was as a school crossing guard for 7 years…
