Fireplace smoke infringes on others

Vicky Hilden of Arlington Heights writes and says she believes burning wood in her fireplace is her right as part of her pursuit of liberty.

I was a child when I first heard the phrase "The liberty to swing one's arm ends where the other fellow's nose begins."

I haven't heard a clearer, simpler explanation of liberty since that day. I wonder which part of "Your stench is in my house" Ms. Hilden doesn't understand.
