I'm in Vancouver area. Our Condo maintenance is contracted out. they use gas weed trimmer and blowers, the commercial ones (maybe modified) are as loud as straight pipe harley. it is deafening when they are here all day, and the smoke comes in to the unit smelling like raw gas. it's bad. And apparently running one of those for an hour is more emissions than 10s of cars doing lots of commutes; because they don't have emissions systems like vehicles.
If they are smoking there is definitely something wrong. I've run gas blowers / trimmers in an enclosed space and they shouldn't smell for a decent while.
I sould have said fumes not smoke. It choles us out, but its not visible like when burning oil
