My in laws have an open fire and burn mostly smokeless coal, logs made from coffee grounds etc sometimes dry logs from the garage. My father in law has had lung cancer and recovered. And persists to burn. They often have the central heating on at the same time - it can get staggeringly hot in the house. It’s about tradition and comfort for them largely. I’ve tried suggesting it’s not a great idea but it falls on deaf ears.
