CLEAN AIR IS MY RIGHT

Just as non smokers choose not to patronize restaurants, lounges and other public places that permit cigarette/tobacco
smoke, why then would anyone want to inhabit houses that are being bombarded by putrid smoke from neighboring
wood stoves or wood boilers, or any type of indoor or outdoor wood burning devices, where the toxic wood smoke
contaminants permeate walls and closed windows, forcing us to inhale poisons!

We are NON smokers! Don't people get it? Scores of stop cigarette/tobacco smoking ads are cropping up all over the country
in the form of store signs, phamplets, television and radio ads. Tobacco bans have been implemented and enforced because of the proven health
hazards associated with the inhalation of first and second hand cigarette smoke. Minors are warned of the dangers
of smoking cigarettes, yet, we are all subjected to caustic wood smoke, some of us on a daily basis, even in our own homes.

Wood smoke contains many of the same hazardous chemicals and elements as tobacco smoke. Wood smoke is even deadlier than

tobacco as it is 40 times more potent and remains in your body (your lungs, tissues and other organs) 12 times longer than

cigarette smoke. Smoking cigarettes is a choice and something we can avoid.

Involuntarily inhalation of your neighbor's wood smoke is not a choice you can make for yourself. Your neighbor is making the

choice for you while they take rob you of your natural right to breathe clean air. Some residents are forced to leave their own homes.

The public nuisance and deadly health invasion of wood smoke has to cease.

If officials have imposed bans on tobacco smoke, isn't it hypocritical to not also hammer home the health risks of inhaling wood smoke?

It's a no-brainer!

We are NON SMOKERS! Stop Carcinogenic Wood Smoke from entering our homes and our lungs.
