Another Xiaxue commentary

Wendy posted another of her tirades, this time on being burnt by a lit cigarette.

You can read in in full here.

Anyway, after I had done the eye-rolling thing and let out an almost inaudible sigh at the juvenile rant I got to thinking...

In a room full of smokers is there such a thing as first-hand and second-hand smoke? This applies especially to places like clubs and bars where smoke just abour permeates the entire room and the only way to escape it is to go outside. Not that it is any better, as people do 'step out for a smoke'.

So everyone is inhaling the smoke from their own cigarettes as well as the secondary smoke from the other smokers in the room.

This make me think of a few Garmen slogans:

Smoke alone, you will live longer.

Do not exhale unless absolutely necessary.

Use a paper bag over your head.Smoke your own smoke.

Keep a safe distance from the smoker in front of you.

If you drink, don't smoke.

Corny I know, but what to do? Life is like that sometimes (whatever that entails)
