Preventing brushfires or the like is totally different. I can see a temporary ban in that case.
What I do see are Libtards trying to ban smoking food because they don’t like the smell of smoke just like they did with cigarettes.
Brush fires were not a problem in Aspen Colorado, the ground was covered with 3 feet of snow. Smoke hanging in the air and not blowing away because of weather conditions was the problem. Fireplace burning was severely restricted until the weather changed.
I like the smell of BBQ but smelling it constantly day and night would get a little bit old. I am glad I don’t live near a BBQ restaurant. It would be kind of like hearing your favorite song played constantly, it would get tiresome pretty quickly.
Some of these petty regimes in some areas, especially in California, HAVE placed bans or restrictions on: the use of charcoal lighter fluid; backyard BBQ or fireplace usage on 'red days'; gas powered lawnmowers, chainsaws, and the like under certain conditions; and a batch of other nonsense.
California Air Resources Board has even pretty much forced/"influenced" manufacturers of gas cans to change their designs, by making all older types 'non-compliant'.
Oh, and over the decades, so I understand, some BBQ joints I frequented while in school, had to either close down; stop using wood pits; move; or install prohibitively expensive 'control systems'.
