Yeah exactly. To be honest, my personal reasoning on this would go something like this: in principle, heating with a wood burner is CO2-neutral(ish), so that part is good. It is however polluting, so the impact of that would depend on where I live. If I'm in a city, that's where it'll compound the overall problem with particulates in the air. If I'm somewhere out there in the low-density countryside, it'll most likely disperse well, partially get filtered by trees, and be fine overall - apart from the direct impact on you yourself, as you sit in front of the wood fire.
Basically restricted rather than banned, which is good news, I like a good wood burner but very concern about how bad it is for the environment.
