What are the health risks of outdoor wood smoke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: Life is meant to be lived and (I would hope) to be enjoyed. Staying away from a nice bonfire because you're super-scrupulous about inhaling a tiny amount of smoke just isn't worth it. You can't go through life shunning everything that might contain something that might irritate you or have some nasty something in it. Embrace life.
