Agree - we should go back to the good old days of asbestosis, mesothelioma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, miners' lung, pneumoconiosis, silicosis, etc etc.

Then we could move on and bring back rickets, TB, polio, dysentery, and cholera.

Ah, the good old days........

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.

They where in deed ,cleaning the ashes out before school and chopping the firewood on saturday morning, loved it (especially the axe):D .Of course these days kids would be taken into care if they where asked to do that these days :rolleyes:

can I get high from breathing in the fumes of that Bob Marley stuff without actually smoking it?
Smoke is vapours. If you can smell it, then you are breathing it in. It's as simple as that.

Just the same as a fart is small particles of s##t, which you breath in if you can smell it. :D

The reason you get black snot is because your nose is doing what it is supposed to do. It's filtering out the coal dust, and helping to stop it reaching your lungs (which is where it does the damage).
