One of the hidden horrors of life with asthma is having to hurriedly turn off my home's evaporative cooling on a hot evening, sending the indoor temperature rapidly upwards, because somebody in my street started burning something and smoke — a major trigger of asthma — was getting drawn in.
(Cooling is back on now, but we're in for a much warmer night inside because of the interruption.)

@MossRC I just don’t know why people have to burn rubbish in their gardens and send smoke for miles, it really annoys me!
@RobeeShepherd I find it infuriating. I'm also saddened and frustrated by the marked rise in wood-fire heating and outdoor fire pits in Australia over the past 10-15 years, filling the winter air with smoke. When I was growing up we had really clean air most of the year in Melbourne. It's not like that anymore.
@MossRC It’s the same where I live. I have allergies and I can’t go outside for major parts of the day because of the smoke from fire pits and wood burning stoves. I feel ya, it sucks.
