A very strange question

[The Dread Pirate]

My mind has been wondering again and has come up with a remalkable question.... If there was a fire would smoke inhalation effect a smoker more or less?

I guess you can see it either way.

There lungs would be more used to smoke than a non-smoker therefore can cope with it better.

But... fire smoke is normally really thick black smoke so will wtfpwn anyone good lungs or not

 

[iaind]

Neither, I wouldnt imagine. The toxins from smoke in a fire will be different from smoking, but most if it is probably asphyxiation anyway

 

[V4NT0M]

Neither way in any perceivable amount.

What a remalkable question indeed. I suppose it might have something to do with what the smoke comprises of. Are cigarette smoke particles smaller than for other types of fire?

 

[linktoinsanity]

I'd say it depends how much damage has already been caused by their smoking.

 

[Dinomania]

Or, if the fumes were toxic (old foam sofa, etc) and a smoker was so used to it he or she didn't cough and splutter - it might mean more inhalation of very dangerous substances.

Try it and see.

I would just breath in heavily & clear the air for you weak non smokers, Don't worry yourselves

Can't wait for the Zombie horde attacks when i am slinging Mollys about setting fire to everything, You non smokers will get pawned

 

[The Dread Pirate]

Try it and see.

I'm not going to for 3 reasons

1. I'd have to find a smoker willing to risk their life.

2. I'd also have to risk my life.

3. I Don't have a deathwish

A smoker willing to risk his life, Huh, Is that not a Paradox

 

[A.N.Other]

I think the issue with smoke inhalation is often the heat rather than the smoke per-se (correct me if I'm wrong) and the heat would bake both sets of lungs equally.

You'd be willing to possibly sacrifice your life for such an experiment?

Only after you tried it first brave captain.

Nope, it's a tautology.
