Identify any fallacies in the following passage either by naming them or, where they seem not to conform to any of the patterns described in the text, by giving a brief explanation of why the fallacious reasoning is irrelevant to the point at issue.
"Paranoia is rampant in Chico again. The latest lie is that wood stove and fireplace burning is extremely detrimental to your health. People, stop being so gullible and think hard, look at all the locals that have lived here all their lives-some well into their 90s. They, as well as all humans for the last 6,000 years have lived with wood smoke. Our locals in addition have grown up during the rice burning and smudge pot years. Why don't you wood burning-a-phobics worry about how fat and sanitary you and your children are. Your alcohol use and your SUVs are polluting the air daily, not just during the winter months. All those things are the real killers of today's society."
