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?

Answer 1

One reason is that it’s harder to get away from, especially if you have to be outdoors for work or some other reason, or you have respiratory problems.
