Do you voluntarily put pollution into your lungs? Do you want to live a better life - with clean air every day?

Cigars and cigarettes aren’t the only way to inhale pollution from smoke. There’s also camp fires, marijuana, fireplaces, incense, wood-stoves, pipes, vaping, burning leaves, etc: woodsmokepollution.org

“Wood burning stoves in urban areas are responsible for almost half of people’s exposure to cancer-causing chemicals found in air pollution.”[3]
