原文： "I was really surprised by how much it affected me and my family," Stafford said. "I knew smoke was bad, but I didn't realize how pervasive and long-lasting the effects could be. I felt like I couldn't breathe, I had headaches, and I was really tired. It made me wonder how many people were experiencing this and if they knew what to do."
