You are all crying out on this, but why? When was the last time you actually smelled wood smoke in the city? There's more important stuff to deal with.

I like my wood burning fireplace. My apartment is not well linked with the building's heating sensors and wood burning is actually carbon neutral.

As for Asthma and air quality concerns, I've been an asthmatic all my life. Never a problem with wood smoke, unless your uneducated enough to burn arsenic treated woods. Bad air quality living situations for me have been linked to heavy petroleum burning (automotive), chemicals used in public pools, and smokes from tobacco and marijuana.

Ban all wood burning!

Air Is Precious

All wood burning whether it is from a forest fire, fire pit or any residential wood burning appliance all have 1 thing in common they all produce toxic emissions. Wood smoke and odour is a severe health hazard and major contributor to global warming. Vancouver can never become the greenest city in the world as long any wood burning is allowed.
