If a person who has smoked all their life is cremated, will the process produce cigarette smoke?

    If I take a cigarette, remove the tobacco, and put it in a pipe and smoke it, did it produce cigarette smoke or pipe tobacco smoke?

    If I set up a condenser, and capture a bunch of cigarette smoke in the air from someone who’s smoking, and then dry that and light it on fire, is that cigarette smoke or cigarette smoke smoke?

    I think this is more a taxonomy question than anything, and the answer depends on the above questions, lol.

    Cremation happens in a very high temperature, able to basically turn the body into a vapour before the vapour then burns. The heat might very well be enough to alter the chemical compounds enough that the resulting gases can no longer be called cigarette smoke.

    Do the math.

    The combined weight of both lungs is less than three pounds.

    Even if the lungs were completely covered with tobacco tars, it wouldn’t be more than one pound.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
