[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 375506, member: 820"] Smoke in heavy doses is pretty nasty stuff whether it's tobacco, wood, grass, or whatever. In fact, most deaths from fires are the result of smoke inhalation or inhalation of toxic by-products of combustion rather than thermal injuries themselves. Here's an article on wildland firefighters and some of the effects smoke has on them. They usually don't use the same protection as urban firefighters (oxygen and facemasks) so they're more susceptible to the ill effects. Nothing conclusive, but interesting anyway. [url=http://www.nwcg.gov/branches/pre/rmc/iems/topics/topics-archived/wildlandfirefighter2008.pdf]http://www.nwcg.gov/branches/pre/rmc/iems/topics/topics-archived/wildlandfirefighter2008.pdf[/url] Here's another (more alarmist) on the effects of smoke on populations surrounding fire zones. [url=http://www.redding.com/news/2009/apr/19/theres-still-much-to-learn-about-long-term-of/]http://www.redding.com/news/2009/apr/19/theres-still-much-to-learn-about-long-term-of/[/url] I would think that if you're going to voluntarily inhale smoke, however, less additives might be the way to go. The elevator, after all, is going down, but no need to cut the cable, too. [/QUOTE]
