Prove me wrong:

So you know how you can't really breathe in smoke or it'll make u sick right? and let's use wood for example, when you burn wood, it kinda shrinks, right? so when it burns, it's kinda like it's evaporating, and when something evaporates, it has to go somewhere, right? so, in conclusion, the reason you cant breathe in the smoke from wood is that if you do, a piece of wood will form in your lungs and kill you.

I think you’re high, but that is wrong. Smoke is in the form of a gas and doesn’t go back to a solid unless in certain conditions known as deposition and the gas from wood would be from carbon dioxide, not the actual wood itself. Why is this marked as physics? This is a chemisty/biochem question
