I specifically meant carbon credits. E.g. price of, for example, wood burning stoves could build in a fee/tax charged to manufacturers or importers given the nature of the product.
It's not just the air pollution, it's also cutting down trees, though at least when we cut it was usually clearing farm land.
As for existing fireplaces/stoves, I suppose a tax could be levied if they are the primary heat source. There are already lots of incentive based energy efficiency city and statewide programs around the nation that factor in heating method (and a lot of people eyeing the carbon credit "mining" in that case as well).
