Invisible smoke
 

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?

Re: Invisible smoke
 

Huh?!?

Re: Invisible smoke
 

Whether Bob Marley is the king of Reggae as Elvis is as the king of Rock n Roll. and why invisible smoke is more denser than real smoke in the adverts.

Re: Invisible smoke
 

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

Re: Invisible smoke
 

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?

Re: Invisible smoke
 

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. :dunce:

Re: Invisible smoke
 

I do hope you are joking slowcoach. :D 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'.

Re: Invisible smoke
 

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!"

Re: Invisible smoke
 

No, they're not.

Re: Invisible smoke
 

Where there's no smoke...

Re: Invisible smoke
 

...it means it's a no smoking area.

Re: Invisible 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.

Re: Invisible smoke
 

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........

Re: Invisible smoke
 

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:

on the inside ;)

Re: Invisible smoke
 

:D and all the coffing was down to "you need some fresh air in your lungs ,now get in the coal house and break some coal up "....(my old dad again)

a good tip when breaking coal up for 3 hrs is to breath through your mouth ,stops you getting black snot

Re: Invisible smoke
 

you just described my childhood -I'm welling up ohh the happy memories :bigcry:

Re: Invisible smoke
 

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).

Re: Invisible smoke
 

No way ,all those hours breathing through my mouth to stop my snot being black and i should have been doing the other way around ....who'd a thunk it :rolleyes:

Re: Invisible smoke
 

You would be amazed how many people don't realise.
