Hello Marian,
I have astma problems too and we decided to stay in Pego for the winter as it helps me a lot. We live in the outskirts of Pego. I can breathe freely here and I don't have to use my medicines or nebulisers when I stay here. I get my energy back whithin weeks.
Where we live there are not many houses and we certainly don't get a lot of smoke here. And my coughing will indicate immediately when it is the case. We then close the doors/windows, but that really doens't happen a lot and the bad air vaporises quickly through the wind. I cannot tell you how it is in Pego town or in another area. Somehow where we are the wind always blows bad smoke in the other direction, ie away from our house. Sometimes I can see the smoke, but it doesn't reach our house, it goes away.
In our house we installed CV and we sometimes use additional heating through a Qlima, also dry air. I walk in the Marjal or in the mountains for 1-2 hours every day and I sometimes play golf. You just have to find the good breathe-freely areas.
But I agree with the Relyat: try the area first, but I would leave the UK earlier then January, if possible. People start heating their houses already in November.
