I'm pretty sure we aren't the ones with a personal issue.
That's funny. People that have no issues usually don't post in threads that they don't care about and certainly not multiple times like you and a few others have. Obviously you do have issues.
Please. Take your fear of authority/overregulation/big government somewhere else. I am not an activist looking to take away all your personal freedoms.
Asking for clean instead of smokey air so I can breathe easier is not tyranny/communist or whatever personal issues you may have.
its tyranny. democracy is tyranny of the masses and majority support for tyranny doesnt make it ok.
ive never had an issue with not being able to breath air outside from someone's fireplace burning some wood. your complaint doesnt sound legit.

That's right. Where you live there is no such problem so you have no understanding of someone who does have a problem with it. You are being tyrannical because you want to impose your view (that woodburning is not an issue) on someone else who does think it is an issue.
Well, now you know. Keep it in mind for next time.
This country, and the world, is full of pollutants. I am not going to lose sleep over it. I sucked in so much god-knows-what on 9/11 that if I worried about it every day, I'd be sick just from anxiety. You live in NEW JERSEY, for God's sake, and it's WOOD SMOKE that worries you? REALLY?
Grow up and stop thinking of yourself as such a delicate little princess. Your chances of getting sick from wood smoke are very small. Your chances of stopping everyone from using fireplaces to accommodate you are even smaller. And as mentioned earlier, you have the choice to move somewhere warmer where it's not so common to have fireplaces or wood stoves.
I've seen this discussion in other areas of C-D. Some people don't like the smell of anything burning. One person complained about the smell of food being grilled in the neighbor's yard. They were using charcoal, too! The horror.
The only person I ever knew who really had a problem was an old neighbor of my parents' friends. We used to go to their house for barbecues when I was a kid. The Dutch lady next door was really nice and would come hang out with us until it was time to fire up the grill, then she would say goodbye and go into her house and keep the windows closed.
She had been in a concentration camp during the war for helping to hide Jews. When she was there, they rounded up a group of Jews one day, locked them in a barn, and set it afire. She could not bear the smell of meat cooking on a grill because it gave her flashbacks.
This is one of those more amusing exchanges I've seen here in some time. ::grabs popcorn::
It is, isn't it? We're fun people here in New Jersey, on the whole.
