Smoke forecasting is so broken it is crippling functionality of the broader app

Can you PLEASE add a way to completely disable smoke as part of the forecast? I have disabled every toggle switch available for this and I am still getting “Transparency: Cloudy (smoke)” despite there being absolutely no smoke reported anywhere near my area and nothing visible. It’s been this way for months. Every day the app says smoke is creating poor conditions and every day it’s not at all accurate.
