When are they going to get around to banning Fireplaces, Backyard Fire Pits and Wood Stoves?

Where ya been? Modesto routinely bans fireplace use and any fires during times of extreme pollution. You know, little kids getting asthma and bronchial problems inordinately. Oh those meddling tyrants!

at bay, the question was rhetorical...they are banning fireplaces in certain towns in CA ‘just on bad air days’ for now, then it will be most to all days....Liberal baby-steps.

Bans on Outdoor Wood Boilers are sweeping the country, even in the most remote areas, once those have been wiped out sufficiently they will be banning wood stoves and fireplaces next. I hope you can rely on electric, oil or gas for heating [if needed] and have the income to pay for it. It cost over $900 to fill a 275 gal oil tank in MA right now.
I value my wood stove to cut the costs.

Concerning asthma; people are also triggered with asthma for pets, ragweed and pollen - going to ban that too?
Is it you just don’t like people who smoke?
