Another development that personally affects me is that local councils are now able to start enforcing this 'smoke-free' thing on owners of narrowboats[1]. For those that don't know, the UK has a 2000 mile network of inland canals on which thousands of us live, in canal barges of about 7ft beam. In the winter, a lot of these boats' primary method of heating our homes is using multifuel stoves. It's an itinerant lifestyle that can be hard at times but incredibly freeing and requires one to live somewhat more in tune with the seasons. A lot of boaters don't have a ton of money and primarily fuel our stoves with foraged wood at varying levels of seasoning (the process of drying wood to reduce moisture content and make it burn better and cleaner). For instance, this year I got a knock on the roof of my boat by a tree surgeon, informing me we needed to move our boat as they had to chop down an ash tree that had succumbed to ash dieback [2]. I asked if I could take some of the wood and he said no problem, saves them a bit of work getting rid of it. And that's now my wood for the winter. We are, of course, aware of the health hazards of groups of boats burning not the best wood, but a large percentage of live-aboard boaters really don't have any other option.
Sorry, not particularly relevant to the article posted but I thought it worth mentioning that there are cases where not burning things to stay warm in winter is not an option for some groups of people.
