I work in an environment that has a lot of different sources of gases that could make a person a corpse in no time flat. So when i want to 'get away from it all', that includes campfire smoke also. I love the vision, but hate the burning of my eyes, my clothes smelling like an old dog. I will add also, that one has 100% more enjoyment of looking at the stars than being blinded by the light of a campfire.
I was hunting Mule deer in Colorado a couple of years ago, out in the boonies. I walked away from a small campfire, only to look up, and see the ring of the milky way for the very first time. It was almost a religious experience. Others in the hunting party paid no attention. Libations and conversations were more important to them, I guess.
Sam harris did a story/podcast about wood smoke and it's dangers. That was the nail in the coffin for me and campfires.
