Vegetation fire smoke is less harmful than the garbage my neighbor burns in their burn barrel (or pile) near or within the city limits… where weekly trash collection is manditory.

Why not tell that to the folks in Willow Creek, Happy Camp, Hupa, Brookings, Santa Rosa, Eureka (etc) (etc).
Nasty summer.

True enough… but not in the middle of a town.
Health Institute Smoke. Not a good match. (no pun intended)
