I wonder what the risk level is for people that regularly sit around campfires.
- lacrimacida 3y agoYes, am wondering the same. Recently went camping and the fire was lit for effects as we cooked food on mini/portable stoves. It’s horrible I’d say, the smoke is thick, gets into everything but all I got is go with the program, it keeps the mosquitoes away and it’s charming. I wonder how long till this culture gets a reality check…
- 2devnull 3y agoPeople like to “bbq.” It’s like cancer as a hobby.

- mcpackieh 3y agoDoes that seem unusual or alarming to you? Lots of fun and enjoyable things have tradeoffs that people willingly make. There' a balance to be struck between having fun in the moment and your long-term health, and most people tolerate a fair bit of risk in exchange for fun. Otherwise, nobody would drink alcohol, go skiing, etc.
- washadjeffmad 3y agoPeople laugh at the light-proof HEPA cocoon I live in, but I refuse to accept the inevitability of my death at anything other than time's hands.
- 2devnull 3y agoNo it doesn’t. I think my point was that people budget their carcinogenic exposure in non-optimal, hard to rationalize ways. Like living in places with terrible air quality (California) and then being concerned about gas stoves.
- mrangle 3y agoHigh. I never used to notice. But after paying more attention to air quality in my environment, I now notice when air quality is particularly bad when before I hadn't. Sitting around a campfire feels like at least pack of cigarettes was smoked.
- dimitrios1 3y agoThis is why I bring a smokeless fire pit with me camping now. I swear it makes a difference, but could be placebo.
- treadmill 3y agoWhich one do you use?
- dimitrios1 3y agoI have been pretty happy with the Solo Stove, but there are lots of options now.
