…I was closing internal doors, using wet towels under the gaps below the doors and retreating to the least affected room….

The smoke comes into my house even with the windows and doors closed.

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…

…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…

My children and I are currently prisoners of our home due to our neighbours’ fireplace…

I have asthma and struggle to breathe throughout the cold months due to my neighbours’ chimney smoke…

I left the area, only to be faced with woodsmoke issues from wood stoves and fire pits in the new area.
