However when i got to Port Alberni, it was just horrible and the smoke started irritating my eyes.

Keep windows closed if you have babies, seniors, or anyone with respiratory issues at home, but I don't think it would be too bad if it's all adults. I'm hoping it clears soon, but there isn't any (significant) rainfall in the forecast that would help settle down the smoke.
Would breathing this air be worse than smoking a pack of ciggies per day?

Weather reports are saying the skies should be clear by then. Temperatures will feel hotter as the blanket of haze dissipates.

Do you mean a fire or two thousand?
We used to have plenty of controlled burns to help combat the spread of forest fires.
Krusty cunts liberals decided that was too expensive a few years ago. Now we get to live with the consequences.
