Invisible smoke

[Gary L]

Anyone saw the adverts for 'invisible smoke' (smoking)?
are they just making it up?
can I get high from breathing in the fumes of that Bob Marley stuff without actually smoking it?

phew ,i thought for a moment you where going for a serious discussion on the dangers of passive smoking

[Gary L]

Passive smoking is breathing in smoke isn't it? if you extract the smoke out of harms way. then isn't the now new invisible smoke just clutching at straws?

Smoke is good for you!
When I was growing up there were hundreds of mills belching out black smoke 24/7, all the houses had coal fires and the wind would blow down the chimneys and fill the room with smoke, pea-soupers were an adventure to be enjoyed yet kids didn't have asthma or eczema, come the Clean Air Act suddenly half the kids had asthma and the other half had eczema. What more proof could anyone want?
Bring back coal.... coal means health.

I do hope you are joking slowcoach. I also lived through those times but I also remember members of my family and friends having to cope with debilitating periods where their Bronchitis had them gasping for breath and the soaring death rates of both adults and children after a period of bad pollution such as smog. Just because the diagnosis of an illness has been made more accurate does not mean the illness wasn't there and being lumped under the general term of "bronchitis".

Invisible smoke

85% of the particulates in tobacco smoke are too small for the eye to see, so are effectively 'invisible'.

I think they are on about "the vapours" which can't be filmed, so they had real smoke as a stand-in. Hmmm... didn't women used to suffer from "the vapours" in olden times?

Next it'll be "Don't touch your children with those nicotine/tar stained fingers! They are covered in 'lurgies!"

No, they're not.

Where there's no smoke...

I'm with you on that one mate, can't beat the smell of burning coal in a morning when you open the door.

I come from a family of miners which stretch back hundreds of years. I remember the mornings when the smoke used to billow down the chimney when there was a wind.

Ah them were the days.
