From a personal perspective, we moved from a relatively modern house (late 1900’s) to a 1930’s house that we installed WBS in.
OK, may not be directly related, but my chronic asthma has completely disappeared/never been better.
Late 1900's is relatively modern? I would surmise that a) the 1930s house might have cavity walls (which would warm it up a bit and allow moisture-laden air to leave before it condensed on internal surfaces) and/or
b) the stove might be drawing air from inside the house (i.e. it's not room-sealed or fed with fresh outside air immediately adjacent to it) so it is also sucking humid air out of the house, and at the same time diluting whatever indoor pollutants had been affecting your chest.
Both a and b will reduce mould growth and hence spores, which are asthmagens/respiratory sensitisers.
A
Sorry AE - thick thumb syndrome - doh !
House was late 1990’s built to a high standard.
This one is cavity wall (with CWI) reasonable DG and insulation where I can reach. I feel it has a comfortable feeling due to the thermal mass of the place (compared to previous) and a single room MVHR upstairs in a bathroom. Obviously this is winter.
Summer we tend to have 10 metres of bi-folds open (I know).

I'll chuck another tyre on the stove then

Desp, I’m all for personal responsibility in things that have a societal impact. As PM’s are quite ubiquitous in their presence and production, we need to recognise it in some form of personal quota, akin to a Carbon tax, that we all live with.
So, I could drive 10K miles and no WBS or 4K and one WBS sort of thing.
I don’t want us to be totally controlled, but there does need to be a direct effect of an individuals actions.
Maybe that is what we have at the moment....sort of. Those examples Gus quotes, lawn mowers, pizza vendors, etc chuck out guff too but they go under the radar as bit players? TEQs used to form a part of the Green party policy, and I think still do in one form or another.
I was joking about the tyre you understand? bloomin things wont fit.............
or rather,
