I feel anxious and I get a scratchy throat. In my village it’s hard to escape the smoke smell when there is no wind. I have a dog and I worry for his lungs and all the other animals and birds as well as us humans.
My next door neighbour has one (a wood burning stove) and the smoke smell is always in my front and back garden. I’ve had to close my window vents and buy an air purifier. Going for a walk isn’t pleasant anymore. I can’t understand why these wood burners are not banned given the health risks and where exactly is all this wood coming from? Do we want the UK to become completely devoid of trees for the sake of the selfish?
