why is wildfire smoke more dangerous than campfire smoke?

Question

I know that no smoke is good for you to breathe in, but I’ve seen some posts about how if you breathe in the same amount of both campfire and wildfire smoke, the wildfire smoke would be worse for you. Why is that?

Of course neither smoke good. But noone is panicking about the health dangers of campfires. Which is way smokier with eyes burning.

I read particle side very important factor in your health. P2.5 or 2.5 Micrometer or less sized gets stuck in lungs easier.

Also, smoking cigarettes must be much worse than a few days of Canadian wildfire smoke over NYC. Unless someone has weak lungs or existing respiratory issues.

Not like this is nuclear fallout!!
