Dear Abby: We love our fireplace, but our neighbor keeps saying she can't breathe

One of our neighbors is complaining that the smoke from the fire is bothering her she has pulmonary problems and says she can't breathe or even keep her windows open for fresh air. She has asked us to stop using it. She says if we don't, it will affect our friendship. We have cleaned our fireplace regularly and placed a new, larger flue on the chimney, but it didn't help. No other neighbors have complained.
