Cigarette smoke with color

Make sigarettes with colored smoke.

It would be cool to light up a sigarette, and the blow black smoke out of the mouth, Or any other color. Or glow-in-the-dark smoke. Maybe they can use the stuff from inside fireworks to color the smoke? It would probably be dangerous for your health, but sigarettesmoking is also dangerous so who cares.

       I can't find "sigarette" in any dictionary. Is it like a SigAlert?

       This way passive smokers would at least get some fun out of it.

       Apparently it retards your ability to express yourself clearly, too.

       First: You need a Matter Compression Ray, to make yourself really tiny... Second: You have to bribe or hoodwink a security guard...   

       Unless there's a new range of fireworks, designed for use inside the home?

       // use the stuff from inside fireworks to color the smoke? It would probably be dangerous for your health //   

       Never looked into this, but ..... intriguing. Most of the coloured pyro smokes are based around volatilising an anthraquinone dye with a low temperature composition that doesn't oxidse the dye before it vaporises. As you say, might make you cough and splutter a bit, but then, you're going to die anyway, and much sooner than anyone else.   

       <cynical> I suppose killing smokers sooner represents a health benefit for those who dislike passive smoking </cynical>

       It would have the interesting (potentially) side effect of turning your nose wax the same colour...hmm.

       I like the coloured smoke idea, all we need is for the smoke to spell the word "loser" everytime a smoker exhales.

       You could set it up so that the more the person smoked the worse the colour got, so if you had a big night out on the piss you could gauge how many you had by the colour of your smoke.   

       Or on a longer scale you set it up so if you were blowing black smoke you know that your ticker is near on shagged. Time for a rebore...

       Do fireworks actually have stuff to colour the smoke? I know the sparks are coloured (they are actually shavings of various metals), but it the smoke itself, or does it rely on reflecting the lights from the explosion?   

       It's obviously been too long since I've been to a fireworks party type thing..

       I really want to give this a nice soft buttery croissant, because I would love colored smoked, but they put enough evil crap in cigarettes as it is. But then again, I never cared about healthy living.

       *So how bad is it, Doc? Give it to me straight.* *As you look at your CAT SCAN, you will notice a large, phosphorescent mass located in your left lung. It appears to be purple.*

       // Do fireworks actually have stuff to colour the smoke? //   

       [Yama], most "night" fireworks produce a greyish smoke - there's no colour in it. In fact, the smoke is considered an undesireable byproduct and the better (more expensive) devices produce less smoke. [thcgenius] is correct about smoke bombs - see my previous anno on dyes. There are special daytime fireworks, for example aerial shells and rockets, which produce multicoloured smoke in place of coloured light (often hard to resolve colours in daylight against a bright sky).   

       Have a firework party SOON. You don't need a reason. Just do it ......

       So if smoking was banned in the restaurant you were in, would that be discriminating against cigarettes with color?

       Have a colourful fishbone.   

       //I suppose killing smokers sooner represents a health benefit for those who dislike passive smoking //   

       Nah, it'll have worse effects on said passive smokers also.
madradish, Nov 22 2002
  

       //Would colored smokes also make smokers cough up multi-colored phlegm?//   

       I already do this from smoking regular cigarettes.
notme, Nov 23 2002
  

       I always thought this would be cool for factories, there's one across the valley from where we live and it spoils the landscape loads. Mind you, making it coloured would only draw more attention to it. Pretty pointless annotation really. Croissant for wasting your time.
